TRICHINELLOSIS (TRICHINELLOSIS) OF WILD BOARIN THE KABARDINO-BALKARIA HIGHLAND RESERVE

Trichinosis of the boar is ubiquitous on the territory of the Kabardino-Balkarian high-mountain reserve, but rarely the extracted boar meat is subjected to veterinary and sanitary examination. In the mountainous zone of Kabardino-Balkaria, T. spiralis is the dominant species and the threat of the formation of natural foci of invasion. New data were obtained when studying the distribution of trichinellosis wild boar (Trichinellosis) in the territory of the Kabardino-Balkaria high-mountain reserve. Materials and methods. On the territory of the reserve in 2018, 16 wild boar carcasses of various ages were investigated using the method of trichinellosis. Samples were taken from the crus diaphragma, intercostal and quadriceps muscles of the thigh. A weight of 1 g was taken from each muscle. Results. On the territory of the Kabardino-Balkaria high-mountain reserve, trichinellosis of the wild boar is found everywhere with EI – 12,5% with an intensity of Trichinella spiralis invasion of in the of the muscles of the diaphragm (1 g) on average 10–14 copies larvae. Conclusion. Trichinellosis wild boar on the territory of the Kabardino-Balkaria high-mountain reserve can become possible sources of human and animal trichinellosis infection.
