Trichinellosis (trichinellosis) is a disease common for both people and
animals, which was mentioned in even some several centuries old notes. As
well as domestic pigs, wild boars, being omnivores and the animals that
broadly cover the territory of Serbia, could definitely be considered as one
of possible trichinellosis indicators, and that is the main reason for
starting this investigation with the objective to perceive the level of
infection of wild boars in different hunting areas at the territory of the
Republic of Serbia. In this work it is presented the distibution of T.
spiralis in wild boars at the territory of Serbia in the period from 2006. to
2010. Besides the distribution of trichinellosis in wild boars, we have also
calculated the tendency of changing in the number of infected wild boars at
the territories of different hunting associations, in the period from 2006.
to 2010. The distribution of T. spiralis in shot wild boars showed that
trichinellosis appeared at the total of 24 hunting associations territories
during the investigated period. Only at the territories of Pirot and
Dimitrivgrad hunting associations, there was diagnosed at least one case of
trichinellosis in shot wild boars in all five years. Out of the total of shot
and inspected wild boars (20.250) in 123 of them, there was diagnosed the
presence of T. spiralis infectious forms (0,61%). The greatest number (29) of
the infected wild boars was shot in 2007. By analysing the change in number
of positive wild boars in the interval from 2006. to 2010. it was found out
that there is a constant tendency of growth, namely 1,1 head of boar per
year. Change in number of trichinellosis wild boars by years of observation
is a second degree polynomial (Y=-0,6+17,81xi-2,79xi2) with correlation
coefficient of 0,69. On the basis of the obtained analysis, that were carried
out, it can be concluded that the occurence of trichinellosis is most
frequent in border areas towards Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Croatia and
Bosnia and Hercegovina.
