Trichinella ELISA kits are assays designed to detect the genus of roundworms Trichinella, or alternatively, antibodies produced against them. They are tissue-dwelling nematodes that cause the disease trichinosis/trichinellosis. There are many species of Trichinella, including T. spiralis, T. britovi and T. nelsoni. Host organisms include bears, pigs, horses and rodents. It is a food-borne pathogen that spreads to humans mainly via improperly prepared meat and infection may result in diarrhea, vomiting and muscle pain.
