In Italy trichinellosis is a zoonosis caused by Trichinella nelsoni, with an exclusively sylvatic cycle involving wild and synanthropic animals (fox, wolf, stray dog, wild boar, foraging pig). The recent increase and diffusion of wild boar population in all Italy, have caused two human epidemic foci of trichinellosis involving about 100 persons in the years 1985-1986. The custom of eating fox meat have caused other human infections. The results of serological examinations of wild boar population showed the role played by this animal in the epidemiology of the disease. The examination of rodent population has pointed out the infection in these mammals (rat, porcupine). The epidemiological implications of wild cycle on man are reported.
在意大利，旋毛虫病是由纳氏旋毛虫引起的一种人畜共患病，其仅存在于涉及野生和共生动物（狐狸、狼、流浪狗、野猪、觅食猪）的森林生态循环中。近年来，野猪种群在意大利各地不断增加和扩散，导致了1985年至1986年期间出现了两起涉及约100人的旋毛虫病人类流行疫情。食用狐狸肉的习俗也导致了其他人类感染病例。对野猪种群进行血清学检查的结果显示了这种动物在该疾病流行病学中所起的作用。对啮齿动物种群的检查指出了这些哺乳动物（大鼠、豪猪）受到感染的情况。本文报告了森林生态循环对人类的流行病学影响。
