is a common roundworm of cats and wild felids and, together with , it is the main causative agent of human toxocariasis. Humans may become infected by ingestion of embryonated eggs via contaminated soil, food, or water, or by ingestion of raw or undercooked meat of paratenic hosts that are infected by larvae. In this study, we report the detection of larvae from meat samples of ostriches and wild boars. These samples were inspected by enzymatic digestion, as part of the trichinellosis surveillance. As ostrich meat is intended for "carpaccio" preparation, a traditional Italian raw meat preparation, there is the need to make the consumption of this meat safe. For this purpose, it is recommended to freeze the meat before preparation. Our findings confirmed that larvae can contaminate muscle tissues of paratenic hosts, increasing the risk of infection due to the consumption of raw or undercooked meat.
是猫和野生猫科动物常见的蛔虫，与一起，是人类弓蛔虫病的主要病原体。人类可能通过摄入经污染土壤、食物或水传播的感染性虫卵，或摄入被幼虫感染的转续宿主的生肉或未煮熟的肉而感染。在本研究中，我们报告了从鸵鸟和野猪的肉样中检测到幼虫。作为旋毛虫病监测的一部分，这些样本通过酶消化法进行检查。由于鸵鸟肉用于制作“鞑靼生牛肉片”，这是一种传统的意大利生肉制作方法，因此有必要确保这种肉的食用安全。为此，建议在制作前将肉冷冻。我们的研究结果证实，幼虫可污染转续宿主的肌肉组织，增加因食用生肉或未煮熟的肉而感染的风险。
