Many parasites (protozoa and helminths) can be transmitted through food lead to infections with high morbidity, as well disease outbreaks. Although the importance of foodborne (FBP) is recognised by many sectors industry, standardized analytical methods validation procedures for testing FBP are lacking. Scope approach:Current detection FBP, their validation, critically reviewed, focusing on priority in Europe: helminths Echinococcus multilocularis, granulosus, Taenia saginata, Trichinella...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a newly discovered but universal communication tool between cells or organisms. However, few data exist on nematode EVs and none for Trichinella spiralis. Here, we aimed to investigate whether T spiralis muscle larvae produce EVs, they carry immunomodulatory proteins have role in immunomodulation as component of excretory-secretory products (ES L1).EVs were enriched from conditioned medium larvae. Transmission electron microscopy images showed be 30-80...

Purpose: Trichinella spiralis has evolved complex immunomodulatory mechanisms mediated by excretory-secretory products (ESL1) that enable its survival in the host. Consequently, ESL1 antigens display excellent potential for treating autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, whether timely controlled delivery of vivo, natural infections, could enhance therapeutic MS is still unknown. Methods: To test this, we encapsulated into biodegradable poly (lactide-co-glycolic) acid...

SUMMARY Pathogen‐derived products have the capacity to induce maturation of bone marrow‐derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) into populations effectors that polarize Th toward Th1 or Th2 phenotype via different mechanisms. Since those mechanisms are not entirely clear for helminths, and almost completely unknown Trichinella spiralis (TS), we started an investigation effects TS antigens (four isolated from all three life‐cycle stages parasite) on BMDCs their potential present antigens. The...

Abstract In Europe, Serbia ranks among countries with a high prevalence of Trichinella infection in pigs, which continues to be serious human health problem. While some Balkan countries, more than one species/genotype has been described both the sylvatic and domestic cycles, these data are lacking for Serbia. To date, only few Serbian isolates have genetically specified, all were classified as T. spiralis. Although transmission from pigs wildlife could assumed, neither status nor species...

In Serbia, modern pork production systems with implemented control measures, including the detection of Trichinella larvae in meat (ISO18743), have eliminated farmed from pigs slaughtered at abattoirs as a source trichinellosis. Epidemiological data 2011 to 2020 indicate that number human cases and infected domestic has decreased significantly. Over years, was most frequent infection. Cases generally occurred small family outbreaks, infection linked consumption raw or undercooked backyard...

Abstract Infection with parasites from the Trichinella genus occurs in many vertebrates but disease only humans (trichinellosis). Humans are infected after consumption of raw or undercooked meat wild domestic animals (usually swine horses). Using monoclonal antibody (mAb) 7C2C5, specific for an epitope unique to muscle larvae , we have developed a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (c-ELISA) that enables rapid detection -specific antibodies sera originating two different host...

Neutrophils are a part of the immune system, and they involved in host defence against microorganisms. Neutrophil granulocytes have shortest lifespan among leukocytes, which can be modulated by cytokines pharmacological agents. The effect aspirin on apoptosis inflammatory has not been studied detail yet, therefore was chosen subject this study. Inflammatory isolated from polyvinyl sponges implanted under skin Albino Oxford (AO) rats. cells that were 20 hours later more than 95% neutrophil...

Introduction. Inter-laboratory comparative testing must be conducted under the direction of National Reference Laboratory for Trichinella in each Member State EU with aim to ensure quality approved digestion method and evaluate competence laboratories detection.

Abstract Trichinellosis in humans is most often caused by the parasite Trichinella spiralis . The clinical course of disease diverse and symptoms can vary from mild to severe. Symptoms usually disappear within a few months, but encysted larvae muscles cause myalgia weakness that last for years. However, existence chronic trichinellosis as still debatable. This study presents results obtained at National Reference Laboratory – INEP, Serbia. was conducted assess immunoserological, biochemical...

Trichinellosis, a mandatory reportable disease, remains persistent zoonosis in Serbia due to regulatory violations, inadequate pork inspection, and insufficient awareness of health risks. Nonetheless, epidemiological data from the past decade (2014-2023) show significant downward trend Trichinella infection among population, with number cases last five years being three times lower than previous years. Over this ten-year period (except 2021) there have been 489 trichinellosis cases. Among...
