Sera from 14,408 market sows from the Canadian domestic swine herd were tested for trichinellosis using an indirect-ELISA as a screening test and a competitive ELISA for confirmatory testing. Three sera (0.02%) gave low level reactions on the competitive ELISA. These reactions were considered nonspecific, and this designation was supported by data from previous and subsequent national surveys, in which serologic, trichinoscopic, and digestion test methodologies was used. This study provides additional evidence that Canada is free of trichinellosis in domestic swine.
