In order to study the epidemiology of trichinellosis with special emphasis on swine a detailed study was performed. The goals of the study were to define the prevalence of trichinellosis in swine and rats and to determine the etiological agents of the disease with special emphasis on sylvatic species, Trichinella britovi. Considering the obtained data it can be concluded that the risk of Trichinella infection for swine in endemic areas in Croatia is rather high today. On the contrary, a sharp decline in human cases is registered what is certainly a result of obligatory trichinelloscopy even for private purposes. The parasite was found to be prevalent in rats too. Studies on genotypes suggest that Trichinella spiralis is the most prevalent etiological agent of domestic trichinellosis in Croatia, even so the sylvatic species Trichinella britovi can be also present in the domestic habitat suggesting a link between the sylvatic and domestic cycle.
为了特别针对猪研究旋毛虫病的流行病学，开展了一项详细研究。该研究的目标是确定猪和大鼠中旋毛虫病的患病率，并确定该病的病原体，特别关注野生动物种类——布氏旋毛虫。考虑到所获得的数据，可以得出结论，如今克罗地亚流行地区的猪感染旋毛虫的风险相当高。相反，人类病例数急剧下降，这肯定是由于即使是出于私人目的也必须进行旋毛虫镜检的结果。该寄生虫在大鼠中也很普遍。基因型研究表明，旋毛虫是克罗地亚家猪旋毛虫病最常见的病原体，即便如此，野生动物种类布氏旋毛虫也可能存在于家庭养殖环境中，这表明野生动物和家养动物的传播循环之间存在联系。
