Abstract		In the first part of the present monograph the most important data, concerning research records of Trichinella spiralis (Owen, 1835) Railliet, 1895 and trichinellosis are complied from the abundant literature. Criteria are summarised to recognise among different species and isolates, known for a number of geographical locations and for a number of different hosts, infected with Trichinella spp. During the last thirty years (1963-1993) trichinelloscopic examinations of 2,617 samples of muscles from 33 different species of hosts, mainly from the sylvatic cycle, have been carried out. A survey on the incidence of trichinellosis in Slovenia showed the following rates of infection: Foxes were infected from 5.47 to 26.30%. However, the freguency of positive foxes showed a strong decrease in infection rate. The situation has been aggravated in recent years by the outbreak of rabies among foxes. There exists the possibility that presence of numerous new foci of trichinellosis in synantropic cycle. In wild cats trichinellosis was found in 4.51 - 8.33%, in badgers to 0.9%, in Lynx lynx to 47.95%, in brown bears to 7.44% and in wild boars from 3.4 to 4.3%. Larvae of Trichinella spiralis were detected also in common vole in 2.12%, in Apodemus sylvaticus in 7.69%, in field mouse in 2.43% and in brown rats in 0.94%. In the same time the following animals were infected: dogs, golden jackals and Martes spp. Trichinellosis in humans in former Yugoslav has been reviewed and outbreaks among humans was atributed to the nearly 2,000 cases in single year, half of them in the region of Vojvodina. In Slovenia two outbreaks were reported, first in the region of Vrtojba at the border to Italy (11 cases), and second in Žirovski Vrh, where 200 persons were involved eating fresh sausages prepared from the meat of domestic boar, with larval density to 50 larvae per gram.
