The outbreak affected eight people. Examination of the sausages made of wild boar meat collected during epidemiological investigation indicated a high level of Trichinella spp. Larvae per gram (&gt;30 lpg) and therefore the threat of an infection in humans after consumption of such product was significant. Over the years, the main source of trichinellosis in Poland has been wild boar meat, and the majority of trichinellosis cases were related to the consumption of traditional raw meat products such as Polish sausage. Taking this into account, there is the need for better education of consumers in the Trichinella spp. endemic regions and among cultures consuming traditional raw meat products.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11030485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,18]],"date-time":"2022-01-18T22:46:32Z","timestamp":1642545992000},"page":"485","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Analysis of a Trichinellosis Outbreak in Poland after Consumption of Sausage Made of Wild Boar Meat"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8125-973X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miros\u0142aw","family":"R\u00f3\u017cycki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Invasive Diseases, National Veterinary Research Institute, Partyzantow Avenue 57, 24-100 Pulawy, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8266-581X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weronika","family":"Korpysa-Dzirba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Invasive Diseases, National Veterinary Research Institute, Partyzantow Avenue 57, 24-100 Pulawy, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5322-2569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aneta","family":"Be\u0142cik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Invasive Diseases, National Veterinary Research Institute, Partyzantow Avenue 57, 24-100 Pulawy, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Pelec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Diagnostics, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, Poznan University of Life Sciences, 60-637 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justyna","family":"Mazurek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Voivodship State Sanitary-Epidemiological Station in Poznan, 61-705 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3649-7867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomasz","family":"Cencek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Parasitology and Invasive Diseases, National Veterinary Research Institute, Partyzantow Avenue 57, 24-100 Pulawy, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Czarkowski, M.P., Staszewska-Jakubik, E., and Kondej, B.
