| Development of a risk-based surveillance program for _Trichinella_ spp. in domestic swine and wildlife in Switzerland | |
| 2010 Full Book | |
_Trichinella _spp. is the causative agent of trichinellosis in humans, and can occur in many different animal species. Infection between hosts is transmitted via oral intake of tissue containing infective larvae. In line with European regulations, Switzerland implemented a meat inspection program for domestic pigs to protect public health. However, data indicated that _Trichinella _infections did not occur in pigs in Switzerland, and therefore an alternative, equally effective but more efficient surveillance approach should be considered. The goal of this dissertation was to develop a risk-based surveillance system for _Trichinella _spp. in Switzerland. |
