The parasitic roundworm is most commonly transmitted to humans through consumption of raw or undercooked meat of infected pigs or game. To prevent human infection, slaughterhouses perform meat safety surveillance using the gold standard "Magnetic Stirrer Method". We introduce a fast and objective method using automated detection of specific antigens by a newly developed immunoassay based on chemiluminescence (ChLIA).
