Abstract: Trichinellosis is an important zoonotic disease that has been reported in both humans and various animals worldwide. Pig is one of the most potential sources of this disease to humans. The objective of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of Trichinella spp. infections of domestic pigs and to determine risk factors associated with Trichinella spp. infections in the southern Lao PDR. Savannakhet province is located in the south of Lao PDR and assigned for this crosssectional study. A total of 418 pig sera from 181 backyard farms were collected among 19 villages of 3 districts including Champhone, Xonnaboury and Songkhone. The total seroprevalence of pigs in the southern Lao PDR was 17.7% (74/418) using indirect ELISA (PrioCHECK®Trichinella AbELISA, Switzerland). For district prevalence, Songkhone had the highest infection (34.4%, 55/160) following by Champhone (10.3%, 14 /136), and Xonnaboury district (4.1%, 5/122). Most positives were found from pigs with free range farming (28%, 19/68), but less in pigsty (16.7%, 39/235) and semi-free range farming (14%, 16/115). For breed prevalence, cross breed had a significantly highest infection (37.3%; 19/51) compare to local breed (15.6%, 54/346) and pure breed (0.5%, 1/20) (p<0.05). Moreover, pigs older than one year had the significantly highest infection (54%, 27/50) compare to the other age range (p<0.05). This result indicated that Trichinella spp. infection still exist in the southern Lao PDR and pigs might be the potential reservoir for humans. Some participants in the targeted districts present a relative lack of education, especially in Songkhone district (were 11% never go school) compared to Xonnaboury (10.91%) and Champhone (7.94%) districts. Pork meat was the mostly consumed (34.8%, 62/181) compared to beef (17.12%, 30/181), but the consumption of raw or undercook pork was rare (21/181). In the study area, 9 of 63 owners in Champhone district heard about zoonoses but not in detail while, 11 of 63 people in Songkhone and 6 of 55 participants in Xonnaboury. Furthermore, 34 out of 181 of the people interviewed know about trichinellosis but don‘t know about the symptom. All of this information represent the risk factors for both human and pigs to get this parasite in the future.
