o:36554 Special Issue 16th International Conference on Trichinellosis en The 16th International Conference on Trichinellosis (ICT) convened August 30 – September 1, 2023 at the Mona Plaza Hotel, Belgrade, Serbia. Scientists from around the world gathered to exchange knowledge, experience, and new data concerning a broad range of research topics related to Trichinella. Topics included advances in diagnosis, epidemiology, immunology, pathology, surveillance, prevention and control. The meeting built on a distinguished tradition legacy of ICT meetings, fostering relationships and promoting dialogue among the global research community. Prior conferences, dating to 1960, convened in in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Berlin (Germany), Changchun (China), Plitvice Lakes (Croatia), San Diego (USA), Fontainebleau (France), Mexico City (Mexico), Orvieto (Italy), Alicante (Spain), Val Morin (Quebec), Noord Wijk ann Zee (Netherlands), Poznan (Poland), Miami Beach (Florida), and Wroclaw (Poland). Controlling the food-borne parasitic zoonotic risk posed by Trichinella parasites represents a singular public health achievement. Transmission to domestic swine has been prevented in many regions and countries by imposing biosecurity on swine farms; where residual risk persists (in uncontrolled pork, and in wild game animals) meat inspection provides additional safeguards for public health. Notwithstanding this success, public concern and economic pressure continues to impede agricultural marketing and international trade. Measures embodying a One Health approach underly successful risk mitigation. In this Special Issue, researchers from around the world share important new data and insights communicated at the 16th ICT, collectively fortifying this One Health approach. The articles draw from sessions on Epidemiology and Human Trichinellosis, Multidisciplinary Research, Phylogeny, Genomics and Proteomics, Biology, Host-Pathogen-Interaction and Immunology, Detection, Legislation and Control. Taken together, the work marks advances in understanding the nature of these parasites and the ways and benefits of controlling exposure to livestock and people. 1552099 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2025.110510 1552101 0304-4017 2025-09-18T11:41:15.717Z 44 yes 46 Caroline Frey University of Bern Vetsuisse Faculty Department of Infectious Diseases and Pathobiology Institute of Parasitology Bern, Switzerland Saša Vasilev University of Belgrade, Institute for the Application of Nuclear Energy INEP, Serbia doktor veterinarskih nauka person 0000-0001-7870-2713 Benjamin Rosenthal Animal Parasitic Disease Laboratory, United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 10300, Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, MD 20705, United States person application/pdf 234331 https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:36554 no yes 19 70 1552260 11A29 Special Issue: 16th International Conference on Trichinellosis 337 337 110510 Veterinary Parasitology Netherlands Elsevier 2025
