This study was carried out to evaluate the epidemiological studies of trichinellosis in five states of North East India from Apr 2016 to Dec 2017.
Overall, 865 different meat samples for detection of larvae and 1580 sera samples for detection of anti- antibody were collected. Intensity of infection with larvae in meat was determined by HCL: Pepsin digestion procedure and anti-Trichinella IgG in serum were detected using excretory/secretory antigens, according to validated ELISA.
No larva was detected by HCL: Pepsin digestion method. However, four (0.25%) samples were seropositive for IgG and four inconclusive results as per cut off value. The highest seroprevalence was observed in Meghalaya (0.41%) followed by Assam (0.27%) whereas no seropositive cases were recorded in Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Tripura.
Trichinellosis is common in North East, India. However, it is suspected in communities where more than 75% of the population relish pork. Finally, there is a need for more research to establish the facts of trichinellosis in this region. Thus, public awareness, food hygiene, monitoring, and surveillance programme are suggested to implement for prevention of trichinellosis in this region.
本研究旨在评估2016年4月至2017年12月印度东北部五个邦旋毛虫病的流行病学研究情况。
总共收集了865份用于检测幼虫的不同肉类样本和1580份用于检测抗体的血清样本。采用盐酸：胃蛋白酶消化程序测定肉类中幼虫的感染强度，并根据经过验证的酶联免疫吸附测定法，使用排泄/分泌抗原检测血清中的抗旋毛虫IgG。
通过盐酸：胃蛋白酶消化法未检测到幼虫。然而，有4份（0.25%）样本的IgG血清学检测呈阳性，另有4份结果根据临界值判定为不确定。血清阳性率最高的是梅加拉亚邦（0.41%），其次是阿萨姆邦（0.27%），而在阿鲁纳恰尔邦、米佐拉姆邦和特里普拉邦未记录到血清阳性病例。
旋毛虫病在印度东北部很常见。然而，在75%以上人口喜欢食用猪肉的社区疑似存在该病。最后，需要开展更多研究以确定该地区旋毛虫病的实际情况。因此，建议实施公众意识、食品卫生、监测和监督计划，以预防该地区的旋毛虫病。
