Abstract:
Trichinosis is one of the most serious meat borne parasites. Examination of pigs in the slaughtered houses over the last five years showed an overall rate of 1.691%. The trichinoscope and sometimes the muscle digestion technique were adopted to diagnose infection. Trichinosis as a zoonotic parasitic disease was discussed.
