The reports on natural infections were mostly accidental rather than structured surveys and involved very few animals. Previous surveillance studies in South Africa reported a 38.5% prevalence of<jats:italic>T. zimbabwensis<\/jats:italic>among wild crocodiles tested from the Mpumalanga province and Kruger National Park (KNP). No studies have been conducted to date on the geographical distribution and occurrence of<jats:italic>T. zimbabwensis<\/jats:italic>in wild crocodiles and varans in countries in southern Africa. Recent outbreaks of pansteatitis in crocodile populations of the KNP, South Africa, provided an opportunity to conduct a more structured survey aimed at elucidating the occurrence and distribution of<jats:italic>T. zimbabwensis<\/jats:italic>in culled wild crocodile populations within the KNP. Results from this study showed that<jats:italic>T. zimbabwensis<\/jats:italic>occurred in 10 out of 12 culled crocodiles form the KNP. The results also showed that the natural distribution of<jats:italic>T. zimbabwensis<\/jats:italic>in crocodiles includes all the major river systems in the KNP. The predilection sites of larvae in muscles followed a different pattern in naturally infected crocodiles compared to observations in experimentally infected mammalian hosts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x12000089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,16]],"date-time":"2012-02-16T06:41:44Z","timestamp":1329374504000},"page":"91-96","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The occurrence of<i>Trichinella zimbabwensis<\/i>in naturally infected wild crocodiles (<i>Crocodylus niloticus<\/i>) from the Kruger National Park, South Africa"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"L.J.","family":"La Grange","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Govender","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Mukaratirwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X12000089_ref1","unstructured":"Foggin C.M. , Vassilev G.D. & Widdowson M.A. (1997) Infection with Trichinella in farmed crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) in Zimbabwe.
