Experimental transmission of Trichinella spiralis via marine amphipods
Groups of amphipods (Anonyx laticoxa and A. affinis) from the Bering Sea were fed the flesh of black bears, Ursus americanus, containing encysted larvae of Trichinella spiralis of Alaskan polar bear (U. maritimus) and brown bear (U. arctos) origin. In the expelled ingesta of 7000 amphipods that had...
