Trichinella infections in horses continue to represent a health problem and, despite the rarity of infection, it is necessary to continue to control properly horse meat. In 2008, a 10-year-old horse imported from Poland to Italy for consumption found to have been positive at the digestion test. Both Trichinella britovi and Trichinella spiralis larvae in a proportion of 4:1 were detected in the horse muscles. This is the first report of a mixed Trichinella species infection in a horse. The epidemiological investigation revealed that the infected horse originated from a small farm about 120km from Warsaw and the horse owner had bought the horse at a horse market. The findings suggest that the horse was fed more than once with infected meat.
马的旋毛虫感染仍然是一个健康问题，尽管感染情况罕见，但仍有必要继续对马肉进行适当管控。2008年，一匹从波兰进口到意大利供食用的10岁马在消化试验中被检测出呈阳性。在马的肌肉中检测到比例为4:1的布氏旋毛虫和旋毛形线虫幼虫。这是关于马感染混合旋毛虫物种的首次报告。流行病学调查显示，这匹受感染的马来自距离华沙约120公里的一个小农场，马主是在一个马匹市场购买的这匹马。研究结果表明，这匹马不止一次被喂食了受感染的肉。
