Sažetak
Trichinelosis among people and animals is a significant public health issue in the world. This also refers to the Republic of Croatia in which trichinelosis is kept under control by law. Prevention of invasion among people, in Croatia as well as in the world, is based on methods of trichineloscopy and artificial digestion, which have become traditional, as well as on comprehensive education of people in relation to meat preparation. The risk of invasion among pigs bred in modern farms is irrelevant, so the idea of registering and recording farms that have a good manufacturing practice, where the risk of trichinelosis is almost negligible, has been promoted in the USA and EU. It is also important to mention that this alternative way of control could be implemented only in some non-endemic areas like the USA and some countries within the EU. The former idea about declaring Trichinella-free areas, supported by the European Union Comission, has been disproved, especially since impossibilities of complete control of wild animals have been proved. In regard to this, the only possible alternative, apart from the traditional post-mortal examinations, is the implementation of principles stated in «From stable to table» programme.
