The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that cases of human trichinellosis have declined to below 25 annually over the past several years. Only a few of these cases have been traced and associated with consumption of pork. A USDA, National Animal Health Monitoring System national swine survey conducted in 1995 reported the infection rate in United States swine to be 0.013%. Modern swine management systems have virtually eliminated trichinae as a problem in domestic pigs.
