Abstract: There is provided a computer vision based method for extracting features relating to the developmental stages of Trichuris spp. eggs, wherein for the final developmental stages a larva is present inside the egg, said Trichuris spp. eggs having a substantially oblong or elliptical shape with a protruding polar plug at each end, the shape of the Trichuris spp. eggs thereby defining a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction of the eggs.

Abstract: The present application describes a novel, advantageous purification method which guarantees the embryonation capability and the viability of a worm egg suspension. The T. suis worm eggs are first treated in a non-embryonated condition in a sulfuric acid solution at about =ph 2. Bacteria and viruses are thereby killed successfully. The germination number of yeasts and fungi is reduced. In a second step, the pH-value is increased and an orally tolerated preservative is added. Yeasts and fungi are thereby killed successfully. The suspension medium used in the second purification step can then be used as a culture medium for additional production (embryonation) and storage.

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.
