Trichinella spp. in Wild Boars ( Sus scrofa ), Brown Bears ( Ursus arctos ), Eurasian Lynxes ( Lynx lynx ) and Badgers ( Meles meles ) in Estonia, 2007–2014
In this study, we summarize Trichinella findings from four wild, free-ranging host species from Estonia during 2007–2014. Trichinella spp. larvae were detected in 281 (0.9%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.8–1.0) of 30,566 wild boars ( Sus scrofa ), 63 (14.7%, 95% CI 11.6–18.3) of 429 brown bears ( U...
