Trichinellosis outbreak due to wild boar meat consumption in southern Italy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The World Health Organization (WHO) has set elimination (interruption of transmission) as an end goal for schistosomiasis. However, there is currently little guidance on the monitoring and evaluation strategy required once very low prevalence levels have been reached to determine whether elimination or resur...
