Status of Trichinella Infection in U.S. Commercial Pork and its Safety for International Trade in Pork and Pork Products
نویسنده
چکیده
Trichinella is a nematode parasite which is found in a wide variety of animals in virtually every country where it has been studied. Historically associated with pork, human trichinellosis, resulting from ingestion of Trichinella larvae in raw or undercooked meat, can be a serious disease. While many countries have eliminated pork as a source of human infection through routine inspection programs, pork remains a frequent source of human disease in some countries.
