Since the large outbreak of trichinosis in Liverpool in 1953 there have been three outbreaks in Ireland, two occurring recently in Cork and Kerry, where a total of 76 cases was confirmed. In the outbreak of 50 cases in Kerry the latex trichina slide agglutination test was found to be valuable diagnostically and epidemiologically, while the efficacy of thiabendazole treatment was not established. This infection may be maintained as a reservoir in wild carnivores, occasionally spreading to pigs and perpetuated in them by a failure to boil pig swill.
自1953年利物浦大规模爆发旋毛虫病以来，爱尔兰发生了三次疫情，最近两次发生在科克郡和凯里郡，共确诊76例病例。在凯里郡爆发的50例病例中，乳胶旋毛虫玻片凝集试验在诊断和流行病学方面被证明是有价值的，而噻苯达唑治疗的疗效尚未确定。这种感染可能在野生食肉动物中作为储存宿主存在，偶尔传播到猪身上，并由于未煮沸猪食而在猪中持续存在。
