The epidemiology of trichinellosis in the Arctic territories of a Far Eastern District of the Russian Federation
Abstract Trichinellosis, a zoonotic disease caused by nematodes of the genus Trichinella , is still a public health concern in the Arctic. The aims of this study were to investigate the seroprevalence of anti- Trichinella IgG in aboriginal peoples of two settlements in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug...
