This report presents the models used to generate the quantitative information needed by public health officials when evaluating different postmortem meat hygiene programmes for Trichinella spp. and Taenia saginata. Human trichinellosis is caused by the consumption of raw or inadequately treated meat from domestic or game animals containing the larvae of parasites of the Trichinella species. Bovine cysticercosis, a parasitic disease of cattle, is caused by the larval stage (Cysticercus...
More DescriptionThis report presents the models used to generate the quantitative information needed by public health officials when evaluating different postmortem meat hygiene programmes for Trichinella spp. and Taenia saginata. Human trichinellosis is caused by the consumption of raw or inadequately treated meat from domestic or game animals containing the larvae of parasites of the Trichinella species. Bovine cysticercosis, a parasitic disease of cattle, is caused by the larval stage (Cysticercus bovis) of the human tapeworm Taenia saginata. Taeniosis, infection of humans with the adult tapeworm, ocurrs following consumption of beef with cysticerci that has not been sufficiently heated or frozen to kill the parasite. The models enable the development of science-based risk scenarios to assess the effect of various changes to testing and meat inspection for Trichinella spp and Taenia saginata on the residual risk of human trichinellosis and taeniosis.
