Cases of trichinellosis frequently registered in Tulskaya oblast (Russia)
-------------------------------------------------
Sanitary physicians of the Tulskaya oblast, have seen an increase in
patients diagnosed with trichinellosis. Since the beginning of 2004 in Tula
[the administrative center of Tulskaya] 4 cases of trichinellosis have been
documented.
4 people from a village in Tula -- including a 4-year-old child -- were
infected and hospitalized with _Trichinella_ after eating the farm dog.

[Dog is a well-known host of _Trichinella spiralis_ and _Trichinella
nativa_ infections. Transmission can be prevented by thoroughly cooking the
meat before consumption, which apparently failed here. _Trichinalla_ spp.
are widespread in Russia, and previously reported outbreaks from Russia
have come from wild boar and bear. - Mod.EP]
