Abstract

Trichinellosis is a cosmopolitan zoonosis due to a nematode threadworm, Trichinella, essentially Trichinella spiralis. Human cases mostly appeared sporadically, sometimes endemically, related with consumption of larva stinking meat. We report two cases of trichinellosis, including a myocarditis, caused by Trichinella britovi after consumption of frozen wild boar meat.
