Description
This study was undertaken to quantify geographic variations in the occurrence of echinococcosis and trichinellosis, two infections that are to a large extent autochtonous (i.e., acquired within the country). Currently, no helminth infection is reportable nationally in Canada. Trichinellosis used to be but was removed from the list in 2000, though it is still notifiable in most provinces and territories. For both diseases, non-specific clinical signs make diagnosis difficult and result in under-reporting.
