Results of Proficiency Testing for Trichinella in Poland, 2015–2019

Trichinellosis is a zoonotic meat-borne disease caused by the nematodes of the genus Trichinella. Meat containing live Trichinella larvae is a source of infection. The examination of meat for Trichinella was introduced in 1869, but the digesti...

The examination of meat for <i>Trichinella</i> was introduced in 1869, but the digestion method for this did not appear in Poland until the late 1970s.

A slight decrease was observed in the examination of samples spiked with five larvae, and great progress was achieved in samples containing three larvae. Low levels of sample contamination are sought after in laboratories but may make evaluations difficult.
