Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for detection of Trichinella larvae in meat samples. The method comprises digestion of an amount of meat to be tested for Trichinella larvae, where the digestion process results in a digested fluid, filtering the digested fluid by use of a first filter being designed to retain Trichinella larvae, and analysing by use of optical inspection the area of the first filter being used for the filtration of the digested fluid, where the analysis is directed against identification of Trichinella larvae. It is preferred that the optical inspection comprises recording one or more images of the filtration area of the first filter being used for the filtration process. It is also preferred that a plurality of images are recorded, where the plurality of recorded images represents a plurality of parts of the filtration area of the first filter, and the recorded images may represent the whole area being used for the filtration process.
