Survival of Trichinella muscle larvae in frozen wolf tissue in Italy.

E Pozio1, G La Rosa, P Rossi, R Fico.   

Abstract

Living larvae were collected in central Italy from the masseters of a wolf frozen for 6 mo. These parasites were identified as a southern Palearctic species (Trichinella sp. 3) through gene-enzyme analysis. At the second passage in laboratory mice, the muscle larvae were unable to survive at - 10 C for 5 days. Biological and epidemiological implications are discussed.
