Epidemiological characteristics of trichinellosis in Vojvodina have been analyzed on the basis of registered cases of the disease, registration of epidemics and also epidemiological investigation of exposed persons. In the period 1984-1993, 1802 diseased persons were registered, 958 male and 844 female. Death was registered in one case. Average morbidity was 8.9/10(5). Trichinellosis affects all age groups. At younger age the disease affects both sexes, but in the group over 20 years of age the disease is statistically more frequent in males. During the observed period 70 epidemics of trichinellosis were registered. The main source was the domestic swine. Epidemiologically the greatest risk were domestically produced sausages causing 80% of epidemics. Consequently the season for pork meat preparation is the most significant for trichinellosis. Analyzing the origin of affected meat it has been established that regions of Srem and South-West Backa are considered to be hyperendemic foci. 94.3% of epidemics were caused by affected meat from these regions.
