A novel detection method for Alaria alata mesocercariae in meat

Abstract: Distomum musculorum suis (DMS), the mesocercarial stage of the trematode Alaria alata, can cause severe damages within their hosts, and since several reports about cases of human larval alariosis have been published, it became apparent that infected game animals and in particular wild boars are a potential source of infection for both humans and animals. A final statement concerning the health risks for consumers could not be given due to the lack of information about both the prevalence of DMS and the suitabi… Show more

“…The digestion method was arbitrary chosen based on the assumption that small rodents, a component of snake's diet, are reservoirs of Trichinella (Flis 2011). Unexpected Alaria alata mesocercariae might have been efficiently detected with migration method, since a percentage of DMS is destroyed by acid concentration and pepsine or stuck on the sieve (Riehn et al 2010). These, along with the finding of still unidentified nematodes, show the area for further investigation and possible knowledge gaps.…”

“…Use of compression method or pooled digestion method according to the protocols for Trichinella larvae seems to have limited sensitivity. Recently, a new detection method based on larval migration technique has been introduced [ 152 ]. As well as, a new PCR assay for identifi cation and characterization of A. alata mesocercariae has successfully been tested; it can be used for diagnostic and epidemiological purposes [ 153 ].…”

“…Las tendencias actuales de consumo de carne de fauna exótica ha significado que la carne de caza se está incorporando cada vez más en restaurantes exclusivos, tanto de Europa como de Estados Unidos, pero también la carne de caza ha sido importada para satisfacer las necesidades de las comunidades de inmigrantes de diversos países, generándose así un riesgo alimenticio (Robertson et al, 2014). De este modo Alaria alata en carne de jabalí procedente de Hungría se ha reportado en Francia (Riehn et al, 2010). Spirometra mansoni spargana se han encontrado en ancas de rana importadas desde Indonesia a los Países Bajos (Zhang et al, 2012).…”
