Trichinella in arctic, subarctic and temperate regions:Greenland, the Scandinavian countries and the Baltic states
The transmission and occurrence of Trichinella spp according to the zoogeography of different climatic conditions, socioeconomy and human activity are discussed. Comparing arctic, subarctic and temperate regions, it appears that the species of Trichinella present, the composition of the fauna and th...
