Although on the territory of Kazakhstan, the species characteristics and prevalence of this helminth were studied back in the 90s, the data have not been updated since then. Given the above, our study was aimed at identifying <jats:italic>Trichinella<\/jats:italic> spp. using parasitological and molecular genetics methods. In our work, we studied 160 samples of muscle tissue of wild animals living in the natural zones of steppes and semi-deserts. Of the animals examined, 32 were positive for <jats:italic>Trichinella<\/jats:italic> spp., including 1 lynx (<jats:italic>Lynx lynx<\/jats:italic>), 17 wolves (<jats:italic>Canis lupus<\/jats:italic>), 11 foxes (<jats:italic>Vulpes vulpes<\/jats:italic>), 1 jackal (<jats:italic>Canis aureus<\/jats:italic>) and 2 corsac foxes (<jats:italic>Vulpes corsac<\/jats:italic>). Helminths were extracted using the digestion method. DNA was extracted using a Gene Jet commercial kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, United Kingdom). For species identification a multiplex PCR, amplification of ESV, ITS1, and ITS2 genes regions was performed. After that, uniplex PCR was performed on the 5S rDNA and ITS1 genes region for sequencing analysis. The resulting sequences were subsequently used to construct a phylogenetic tree and the studied samples were identified as <jats:italic>Trichinella nativa<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Trichinella britovi<\/jats:italic>. Thus, we can conclude that there is a circulation of two species of <jats:italic>Trichinella<\/jats:italic> in Kazakhstan, highlighting that constant control and monitoring of wild animals are necessary to prevent transmission and protect the health of people.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2023.1266561","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,14]],"date-time":"2023-09-14T23:58:21Z","timestamp":1694735901000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Genetic
