Sylvatic trichinosis in Alberta

J R Gunson, K H Dies

    Journal of Wildlife Diseases
    |October 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Wildlife surveys in Alberta indicate Trichinella species infection is confined to wolves (Canis lupus) in northern regions. The parasite appears to be maintained through wolf-to-wolf transmission cycles.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary parasitology
    • Wildlife epidemiology
    • Zoonotic disease surveillance

    Background:

    • Trichinella species are globally significant foodborne parasites.
    • Understanding wildlife reservoirs is crucial for controlling parasite transmission.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and distribution of Trichinella species in Alberta wildlife.
    • To identify potential wildlife hosts and transmission dynamics of Trichinella.

    Main Methods:

    • Serological and/or parasitological surveys were conducted on various wildlife species across Alberta.
    • Geographic locations of positive cases were mapped to determine infection distribution.

    Main Results:

    • Trichinella species infection was detected exclusively in wolves (Canis lupus).

  • Infections were geographically restricted to the northern areas of Alberta.
  • Evidence suggests a wolf-to-wolf transmission cycle maintains the parasite.

    • Conclusions:

    • Wolves in northern Alberta represent the primary wildlife reservoir for Trichinella species.
    • The observed transmission pattern highlights the importance of wolf population dynamics in parasite maintenance.
