Features of trichinella larvae topography in wild mammals muscles of the Amur region

The aim of the study is to determine the localization features of Trichinella larvae in different muscle groups of spontaneously infected wild mammals in the Amur Region. The study was conducted at the Department of Parasitology and Zooecology of the Far Eastern Research Institute of Veterinary Medicine. The paper presents the results of a study of postmortem diagnostics of pathological material from wild animals spontaneously infected with Trichinella larvae. The study material was striated muscle tissue of different muscles spontaneously infected with the causative agent of trichinellosis in animals of 4 species from 3 families: the dog family (Canidae) - red fox, wolf; felines (Felidae) - lynx and mustelids (Mustelidae) - badger. The research methods were compressor microscopy and digestion in artificial gastric juice, according to MUK 4.2.2747-10. A quantitative count of Trichinella larvae was performed for each muscle. The indicators of the intensity of invasion (II) expressed as the number of larvae per 1 g were established. For the canine family (wolf and red fox), a pattern of selective preferential damage to the muscles of the extremities was established: the superficial flexor of the fingers (in the red fox (47.4 ± 9.79) larvae, p function show_eabstract() { $('#eabstract1').hide(); $('#eabstract2').show(); $('#eabstract_expand').hide(); }
