The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of trichinellosis in domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) in India. A total of 319 tissue and 279 serum samples were collected from 279 slaughter pigs. The samples were collected from small slaughter shops located in Assam, Chandigarh (Union territory), Punjab and Uttarakhand states of the country. The presence of Trichinella spp. antibodies in serum was determined using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit and tissue samples were digested using the OIE recommended pepsin–HCl digestion method. The overall seroprevalence of trichinellosis was found to be 2.87 %. The age wise seroprevalence was found to be 2.83 % in pigs aged more than 6 months and 3.12 % in pigs 0.05) associated with seroprevalence. The current research confirms that trichinellosis remains a rare zoonosis in India. However, extensive studies must be carried out in wildlife to identify reservoir hosts in the country. |
