Abstract
After a human trichinellosis outbreak in Zlatibor District, Serbia, in 2016, Trichinella larvae were found in wild boar ( Sus scrofa) meat products. One hundred and fourteen people were infected during the outbreak. The larvae were determined to be Trichinella britovi using the polymerase chain reaction method. Trichinella britovi has previously been identified in Serbia, but this is the first case of the species being confirmed in food samples linked to human trichinellosis. The results of the study confirmed that the T. britovi is able to affect human health. In addition, this study suggests the role of wild boars as reservoirs of T. britovi in Serbia.
