Trichinella spp. have been associated with human zoonotic disease, predominately in temperate and polar regions. Humans and other mammals are incidentally involved after consumption of infected raw or inadequately cooked muscle tissues or from direct contact with infectious oocysts. Recent USA outbreaks have been mainly attributed to carnivorous wildlife (bears, mountain cats, and wild boar). This change has been aided by the steady decrease in swine Trichinella prevalence as USA swine herds moved toward confinement and limited feeding of uncooked garbage. For this study presence of Trichinella antibodies in meat-juice samples was tested by a commercial competitive ELISA test.
