Conflicts with American black bears (Ursus americanus) are increasing in rural and suburban areas throughout the United States.

Results indicate black bears in Oregon are not part of a sylvatic cycle for Trichinella, and risk of human exposure to Trichinella larvae from eating black bear meat from Oregon appears low.
