Trichinella meat inspection by the compression method-First proficiency test
ABSTRACT In some countries, like Serbia, trichinellosis is one of the most important foodborne zoonotic parasitic diseases. The local authority in Serbia requires laboratory staff performing official controls on meat to be properly trained and participate regularly in proficiency testing for the detection of Trichinella larvae in meat by the magnetic stirrer method (MSM), organized by National Reference Laboratory for Trichinella. However, as in other countries in the world (in South America, Africa, and Asia), in Serbia, the compression method for detection of Trichinella larvae during meat testing is also in use. In spite of that, there is no described proficiency test (PT) for veterinarians who use this method.
