Molecular epidemiology using traditional sequencing has been notoriously difficult in inbred parasites due to a lack of genetic variation available for discriminating among parasites. Next generation sequencing techniques ...

Genetic variation in pathogen populations provides the means to answer questions in disease ecology and transmission, illuminating interactions between genetic traits, environmental exposures, and disease. Such studies ...

Trichinellosis is a zoonotic meat-borne disease caused by the nematodes of the genus Trichinella. Meat containing live Trichinella larvae is a source of infection. The examination of meat for Trichinella was introduced in ...

In this chapter we focus on settled and outstanding questions in Trichinella population genetics. Our present focus examines how much variation parasite populations harbor, and how distinct those populations have become. ...

Trichinella nematodes continue to circulate in various hosts both in the domestic and sylvatic cycles. In the majority of countries in Europe, wild boars have been noticed as a primary source of Trichinella spp. infections ...

The aim of the study was to investigate the occurrence of Alaria alata (Goeze, 1782) in fifty-one grass snakes (Natrix natrix) collected in Gostynińsko-Włocławski Landscape Park. Each snake was tested for the presence of ...

Trichinellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the nematodes of the genus Trichinella. Infection takes place through the consumption of infected meat containing live larvae. The only way to prevent the disease is to break ...

The aim of this study was to present the current situation of trichinellosis, basing on the results of examination of the tissues of animals huntedin Poland. Investigation was carried out from 1st January to 30th June 2022 ...

Raw meat and raw meat products are consideredas the main sources of Toxoplasma gondii infectionfor humans in Europe, however data in this issue for Poland are still insufficient. The aim of the study was to determine the ...
