Nematodes of the genus  Trichinella  are zoonotic parasites causing trichinellosis. In Iran, these parasites occur in several animal species and rare cases have been recorded in humans. To monitor the epidemiological pattern of these parasites in the Khorasan-e-Razavi province, Northeastern Iran, muscle tissues were collected from the tongues of roadkill animals between 2016 and 2017: 295 stray dogs, one red fox ( Vulpes vulpes ), 12 golden jackals ( Canis aureus ), and one wild boar ( Sus scrofa ).  Trichinella  spp. larvae were retrieved using the artificial digestion method and identified to the species level by multiplex PCR. Larvae identified as  Trichinella britovi  were detected in five stray dogs (1.7%) and one golden jackal (8.3%). The results confirm the circulation of  T. britovi  in animals of the Khorasan-e-Razavi province, as previously documented. A review of the literature on  Trichinella  spp. in animals in Iran showed that these parasites were previously detected in 20.02% and 0.04% of carnivore and omnivore mammals, respectively, and that golden jackals can be screened as indicator animals for these zoonotic nematodes. Convenient sampling of  Trichinella  susceptible roadkill animals may provide a suitable method of monitoring the circulation of these parasites within any given region.
