Abstract
Encapsulated larvae of Trichinella spiralis were found in wild-trapped, Microtus pennsylvanicus and Sigmodon hispidus [new host records]. Peromyscus leucopus and Mus musculus were also infected. These mammals were trapped from a farm site in Henrico County, Virginia remote from known potential sources of trichinosis. The possible zoonotic relationship between wild rodent trichinosis and swine trichinosis is discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
