Main findings for 2015

• In 2015, trichinellosis was a reportable condition in 48 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City.

• During 2015, known or suspected sources of Trichinella infection were documented for 10 (77%) of the 13 cases reported, and included bear (7 cases), commercial pork (1 case), pork from an unspecified source (1 case), and pork consumed during international travel (1 case).

• Two outbreaks of 3 persons each were reported in 2015; each outbreak was attributed to meat from a bear hunted in Alaska.
