First molecular characterisation of in a pig carcass condemned during routine meat inspection in Poland.

Introduction: This article presents the fourth detection of macroscopic cystic lesions due to sarcocystosis in domestic pigs during routine meat inspection worldwide, and the first molecular detection of in a domestic pig in Poland. Pigs can become intermediate hosts for by accidental ingestion of oocysts or sporocysts present in food or water contaminated by the faeces of canids (definitive hosts).

Material And Methods: The affected swine showed no clinical symptoms such as weight loss, dermatitis or dyspnoea suggesting sarcocystosis.

Gelatin medium for preserving of Trichinella spp. for quality control in laboratories - estimation of larvae viability.

Introduction And Objective: Official food control laboratories ensure food safety using reliable, validated methods. Council Regulations (EC) No. 853/2004, 854/2004 and 882/2004 of the European Parliament established hygiene rules the production of food of animal origin, together with requirements for official controls.

genetic diversity based on isolates from pigs confirmed the characteristic haplotype distribution and the presence of the Asian-like haplotype in Central Europe.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to determine the genetic diversity of in pigs in highly endemic areas in Poland, as well as to attempt to confirm the occurrence and geographical distribution of haplotypes characteristic for these areas, which were previously described on the basis of examination of adult tapeworms isolated from foxes.

Material And Methods: Twenty samples of larval forms were obtained from pigs' livers in four provinces of Poland. Genetic analyses were conducted on sequences of two mitochondrial genes: and .

Occurrence of Eucoleus aerophilus in wild and domestic animals: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Eucoleus aerophilus (syn. Capillaria aerophila) is a nematode with a worldwide geographical distribution. It causes a disease called lung capillariosis by affecting the respiratory tract of wild and domestic animals, and has also occasionally been described in humans.

Molecular Confirmation of Cysticercosis in a Captive Ring-Tailed Lemur () in Poland.

(1) Background: is a cosmopolitan tapeworm endemic to the northern hemisphere with an indirect lifecycle. Its definitive hosts are carnivores, and its intermediate hosts are rodents and rabbits. Nonhuman primates in zoos appear to be highly susceptible to cysticercosis.

Proteomic Profiling and In Silico Characterization of the Secretome of Sensu Stricto L3 Larvae.

sensu stricto (s.s.) L3 larvae are one of the major etiological factors of human anisakiasis, which is one of the most important foodborne parasitic diseases.

Grass Snakes () as a Reservoir of and Other Parasites.

The aim of the study was to investigate the occurrence of (Goeze, 1782) in fifty-one grass snakes () collected in Gostynińsko-Włocławski Landscape Park. Each snake was tested for the presence of mesocercariae using the AMT and MSM methods. 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA), cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) and 28S ribosomal RNA (28S rRNA) genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced for the purpose of species identification.

Validation of the Magnetic Stirrer Method for the Detection of Larvae in Muscle Samples Based on Proficiency Tests Results.

is a zoonotic disease caused by the nematodes of the genus . Infection takes place through the consumption of infected meat containing live larvae. The only way to prevent the disease is to break its epizootic chain.

Analysis of a Trichinellosis Outbreak in Poland after Consumption of Sausage Made of Wild Boar Meat.

An outbreak of trichinellosis due to the consumption of sausage made from wild boar meat unexamined for the presence of spp. was reported in Poland in December 2020. The outbreak affected eight people.

in Terms of Risks to Consumers' Health.

flukes are cosmopolitan parasites. In Europe, the definitive hosts are red foxes (), wolves (), and raccoon dogs (), as well as animals that belong to the Felidae family. Intermediate hosts, such as snails and frogs, are the sources of infection for definitive hosts.

Occurrence of Alaria alata in wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Poland and detection of genetic variability between isolates.

Alaria alata is a trematode included among several emerging zoonotic parasites. The mesocercarial larval stage of A. alata named Distomum musculorum suis (DMS) may potentially be infective for humans.

Development and Application of Novel Chemiluminescence Immunoassays for Highly Sensitive Detection of Proteins in Thermally Processed Seafood.

The third-stage larvae (L3) of are the most important source of hidden allergens in seafood products. However, there exist no commercial methods for detecting proteins in food. Furthermore, only a few methods have been validated for the detection of in thermally processed food.

Proteomic and Bioinformatic Investigations of Heat-Treated Third-Stage Larvae.

third-stage larvae are the main source of hidden allergens in marine fish products. Some allergens are thermostable and, even highly processed, could cause hypersensitivity reactions. However, proteome has not been studied under autoclaving conditions of 121 °C for 60 min, which is an important process in the food industry.

Diversity of Trichinella species in relation to the host species and geographical location.

Trichinella nematodes still circulate in various hosts in both domestic and sylvatic environments. Recently, in Europe, the transmission of Trichinella spp. to humans has been attributed more to wild animals than to domestic animals.

Occurrence of spp. in rats on pig farms.

Introduction: The highest risk of trichinellosis for human is considered in eating meat products containing live larvae, mostly from wild boars or pigs. Spreading of spp. may occur in various ways, one of which is transmission by vectors.
