During a survey for other parasitic infections, tongue and limb muscles of wild bobcats (Lynx rufus) were examined microscopically from a sample of 190 Minnesota bobcats. One batch (n = 50) was studied in 2015, yielding no cases of Trichinella when examined only with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of <25 mg of tissue. In a 2024 cohort (n = 140), this method was paired with a compression of ∼5 g of tissue.

During a survey for Sarcocystis infections in Pennsylvania in wild canids, muscles from the tongue and limb were examined microscopically for sarcocysts. Between 9 February 2024 and 11 February 2024, muscle samples were collected from 76 coyotes, 46 gray foxes, and 21 red foxes from Pennsylvania hunter harvested animals. Around 5 g of muscle was examined microscopically by compression between a glass slide and coverslip.

Article Synopsis
- Trichinellosis is a parasitic disease caused by various species of Trichinella, with cases reported in Algeria linked to jackal meat consumption.
- A study conducted between February 2022 and August 2023 involved examining 33 road-killed carnivorous mammals in Algeria for Trichinella spp. infection using necropsies and DNA analysis.
- The study found T. britovi in a domestic dog, marking the first detection of this species in an animal host in Algeria and indicating the role of domestic dogs in spreading the parasite.
