Trichinellainfections in arctic foxes from Greenland: studies and reflections on predilection sites of muscle larvae
Abstract Studies were carried out to determine the predilection sites of Trichinella nativa muscle larvae in arctic foxes ( Alopex lagopus ) caught in Greenland. The highest number of larvae per gram of tissue was found in the muscles of the eyes and the legs. With regard to predilection sites no si...
