Trichinella pseudospiralis in swine

Trichinella spiralis and Trichinela britovi are the species that were frequently found in domestic pigs and various sylvatic animals in Croatia. During routine trichinoscopy , non- encapsulated larvae were detected in the muscle tissue of the domestic swine. Artifical digestion revealed 602 muscle larvae. The tissue section analysis confirmed the presence of larvae that were not surrounded by the ordinary capsule too. Multiplex PCR identified the larvae as Trichinella pseudospiralis. It should be noted that local veterinary inspector reported the findings of strange nonencapsulated Trichinella even four times during last two years. It has to be stressed that this the first record of T. pseudospiralis in Croatia and one of very few cases of Trichinella pseudospiralis infection in domestic pigs. The detection of nonencapsulated larvae stress the need of prompt implementation of artificial digestion instead of trichinoscopy .
