Zoonotic nematodes of the genus are foodborne parasites that have a global distribution in wild carnivores and omnivores, with spillover and spillback into domestic livestock and people, with concomitant trade and health consequences. Historically, most human cases were linked to domestic pigs infected with but under current high biosecurity swine production in many countries, wildlife have become a more important source of human trichinellosis. The aim of this review is to update the global distribution of species and genotypes reported in wildlife, as well as reported human outbreaks from the consumption of wildlife.

Dermatomyositis is a rare muscle disease that was first described by Ernst Leberecht Wagner and Heinrich Unverricht.After providing a survey on both scientists' life works, this contribution describes the most significant subsequent works on the diagnostics and classification of clinical symptoms and the progress of the disease that the author has been observing for more than three decades.Polymyositis/dermatomyositis (also known as Unverricht-Wagner or Wagner-Unverricht syndrome) was described in two publications by Ernst Leberecht Wagner in 1863 and 1887.

Blood samples of live-caught polar bears (Ursus maritimus) from Svalbard collected 1991-2000 (Period 1) and 2006-2008 (Period 2) and from the pack ice of the Barents Sea collected in Period 1, were assayed for antibodies against Trichinella spp. by ELISA. Of 54 cubs-of-the-year included in the Period 1 sample, 53 were seronegative, indicating that exposure to Trichinella infected meat is uncommon during the first months of life for polar bears in the Svalbard region.

Human trichinellosis is a major food-borne zoonosis in Bulgaria with a high health, social, and economic impact. Every year outbreaks and sporadic cases are registered in the country. Epidemiological data based on standard protocols for epidemiological surveillance and control of human trichinellosis for each region in the country were collected and analysed at the National Centre of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, and the main epidemiological trends during the past 17 years (1990-2006) were determined.

Thymidylate synthase (TS) of Trichinella spiralis, a parasitic nematode causing trichinellosis, was found to bind its own mRNA and repress translation of the latter, similar to its human counter-part [Chu, Koeller, Casey, Drake, Chabner, Elwood, Zinn and Allegra (1991) Proc. Natl. Acad.
