We report here three cases of trichinellosis due to polar bear meat consumption in East Greenland. In the past 20 years, 31 cases of trichinellosis have been reported in French travellers to the Arctic (North Quebec, Nunavut and Greenland) who consumed undercooked meat from black, brown, or polar bears. If local communities are increasingly becoming aware of the risk of trichinellosis, travellers visiting regions where bear meat is consumed should be informed of the risk of eating raw or non-heat-processed meats.
我们在此报告三起因食用北极熊肉而感染旋毛虫病的病例，这些病例均发生在格陵兰岛东部。在过去的 20 年中，共有 31 例在北极地区（包括北魁北克、努纳武特和格陵兰）食用未煮熟的黑熊、棕熊或北极熊肉的法国旅行者感染旋毛虫病。如果当地社区越来越意识到感染旋毛虫病的风险，那么那些前往食用熊肉地区的旅行者应被告知食用生肉或未经热处理的肉类的风险。
