Trichinella spp. control in modern pork production systems.
Food and waterborne parasitology. 2022 September
Infection with Trichinella spp. from pork and other sources has been a major public health concern in many parts of the world. This review describes the progression of processes followed to protect consumers from exposure to this parasite. Testing programs for pigs, as required by some countries, have been important in reducing the risk of exposure from commercial pork products. However, improvements in pork production systems in the past several decades, including high levels of bio-security in confinement production systems, have also contributed to major reductions in the occurrence of this parasite in pigs and pork products. International guidelines and regulations have codified requirement for controlled management or controlled housing that prevents risk of exposure of pigs to Trichinella spp. Adhering to these requirements, with appropriate documentation, eliminates the need for individual carcass testing for domestic consumers as well as for purposes of trade. Pigs not produced in controlled housing systems should be subject to testing to confirm absence of Trichinella spp. infection.
