Nachweis des Dunker’schen Muskelegels im Rahmen der amtlichen Fleischuntersuchung mittels des modifizierten Larvenauswanderverfahrens (Alaria alata mesocercariae migration technique, AMT)

Effectiveness of two methods for mesocercariae of Alaria alata detection in wild boars (Sus scrofa)

“…However, due to the scarcity of methodology and data predicting the risk of human alariosis is difficult. Although the main source of infection is considered the consumption of an insufficiently cooked wild boar meat, A. alata is still not considered to be a zoonotic agent in Europe (Möhl et al 2009;Riehn et al 2011a;Riehn et al 2011b, Riehn et al 2011c. The aims of present study were to define the level of possible false-negative results using TIM and to improve the AMT to shorten as possible performance time.…”
