This paper presents the results of the prevalance of trichinellosis in jackals with a view to determine their role in the natural cycle of trichinellosis in Serbia. Twelve jackals were examined, all of them belonging to the genus of golden jackal (Canis aureus). Diaphragms were tested using artificial digestion (Commission Regulation (EC) No 2075/2005). There was relatively high prevalence of trichinellosis in jackals (8.33%) on the territory of Vojvodina Province (Serbia) with a high degree of infestation (3 larvae/g), which is much higher than in countries considered to be trichinellosis free. Jackals, foxes and rats belong to synantrophic animals and present a link between sylvatic trichinellosis and domestic animals. If the prevalence of sylvatic trichinellosis in particular geographical area is high, than a significant risk of spreading the infestation to domestic pigs exists.
