Distribution of Trichinella britovi larvae in muscles from experimentally infected foxes (Vulpes vulpes)

The aim of the study was to describe the results of the analysis of distribution of muscle larvae in red foxes. Three foxes, two months old, were inoculated with 1000 larvae of T. britovi ( ISS 2). 45 days after inoculation foxes were sacrificed and tissue samples from 25 selected muscles from both sides were examined. In order to define the real distribution two samples from each muscle were taken. A larval distribution was determined by comparing larval counts in one gram of tissue and larval counts in rest of the muscle. Both samples were artificially digested and the number of larvae was defined. Comparison of the number of larvae from each muscle of the left and right side of the body revealed a difference in larval distribution in almost half of examined muscles. The comparison revealed unequal larvae distribution.
