Abstract
In view of the finding of Trichinella spira spiralis in three species of mammals born in Hokkaido, it is thought that the parasite may also infect other species of animals in Japan, including man. Although examination of human diaphragms in a small series of 149 autopsies in Hiroshima and 37 autopsies in Nagasaki (by digestion, compression, and microscopic sections) failed to reveal any instance of trichinous infection, it is that the existence or absence of human trichinosis in Japan can be determined only by examination covering a larger series of autopsies, and performed in various parts of the country. ACTA PATH. JAP.18: 245–247, 1968.
