At the end of 1988 an outbreak of trichinellosis involving 48 persons occurred in a small town in Central Italy, near the Appennine mountains. The epidemic was caused by the ingestion of sausages recently made with wild boar meat. The people affected were mostly relatives and friends of hunters. Trichinella larvae were found in boar meat sausages and in cats fed with raw leftovers and proved to be Trichinella sp. 3 at biochemical typing. This species of parasite is the most frequently isolated species of Trichinella in Italy and other Southern European countries. Clinically the epidemic has shown a typical, uncomplicated febrile course in most patients, but two patients showed signs of cardiac damage and one intense abdominal pain, suggesting an acute abdomen.
1988年底，意大利中部靠近亚平宁山脉的一个小镇爆发了旋毛虫病，涉及48人。疫情是由食用近期用野猪肉制作的香肠引起的。受影响的人大多是猎人的亲属和朋友。在野猪肉香肠以及食用生剩饭的猫体内发现了旋毛虫幼虫，经生化分型鉴定为旋毛虫3型。这种寄生虫是意大利和其他南欧国家最常分离出的旋毛虫种类。临床上，大多数患者的疫情表现出典型的、无并发症的发热病程，但有两名患者出现心脏损伤迹象，一名患者出现剧烈腹痛，提示急腹症。
