Trichinella pseudospiralis is a non-encapsulated species infecting both mammals and birds. In Italy, this parasite was reported only in two night-birds of prey of Central Italy. In January 2010, Trichinella larvae were detected in three wild boars (Sus scrofa) of two regions of Northern Italy by enzymatic digestion. The parasites were identified as T. pseudospiralis by multiplex-PCR. The first infected wild boar was hunted in the Emilia Romagna region and the other two infected wild boars were bred outdoors in a small family farm of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. These new epidemiological data reinforce the role of the wild boar as the main reservoir of T. pseudospiralis in Europe.
旋毛虫假型是一种非包囊物种，感染哺乳动物和鸟类。在意大利，这种寄生虫仅在意大利中部的两种夜间猛禽中报告过。2010 年 1 月，通过酶消化在意大利北部两个地区的三头野猪（Sus scrofa）中检测到旋毛虫幼虫。通过多重 PCR 将寄生虫鉴定为旋毛虫假型。第一头受感染的野猪在艾米利亚-罗马涅地区被猎捕，另外两头受感染的野猪在弗留利-威尼斯朱利亚地区的一个小型家庭农场户外饲养。这些新的流行病学数据加强了野猪作为旋毛虫假型在欧洲的主要宿主的作用。
