Introduction

Standard Overview

WS 369-2012 is a diagnostic standard for trichinellosis developed by my country's health industry, issued by the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau of the Ministry of Health and officially implemented in September 2012. The standard defines the etiological characteristics, diagnostic grading system and detection methodology requirements.


Pathogenic characteristics

SpeciesDistribution areaPathogenicity
Trichinella spiralis (T1)Widely distributed throughout the countryMain pathogenic species
Indigenous Trichinella spiralis (T2)Arctic/Subarctic regionsWeak pathogenicity

Larvae are encapsulated in skeletal muscle, measuring 0.25-0.5mm×0.21-0.42mm, and usually contains 1-2 larvae.


Diagnosis grading system

1. Suspected cases

Must meet the following requirements at the same time: Epidemiological history (history of eating raw meat) + Clinical manifestations (fever/myalgia/eyelid edema, etc.)

2. Clinically diagnosed cases

Suspected cases and meet any of the following requirements:

  • Larvae detected in the same batch of meat
  • Eosinophils>10%
  • ELISA antibody positive

3. Confirmed cases

Clinically diagnosed cases and meet the following requirements:

  • Larvae found in muscle biopsy
  • Insect species identified by multiplex PCR

Laboratory testing technology

Serum testing (ELISA)

The standard recommends the use of muscle larvae ES antigen to detect IgG antibodies. The operating procedures are as follows:

  1. Antigen coating (2.5-10μg/mL concentration)
  2. Incubation with serum diluted 1:100
  3. HRP-labeled secondary antibody reaction
  4. TMB colorimetric assay

Critical value: PN ≥ 2.1 is considered positive

Muscle biopsy technique

Recommended sampling site: gastrocnemius/deltoid muscle, which can be:

  • Plate microscopy (detection rate of about 30%)
  • Artificial digestion (the number of larvae can be quantitatively calculated)

Implementation recommendations

Optimization of diagnostic process

It is recommended to adopt a step-by-step detection strategy:

  1. Initial screening: routine blood test (eosinophil count)
  2. Confirmation: ELISA+Western Blot combined detection
  3. Confirmation: muscle biopsy+molecular identification

Epidemiological monitoring

Key prevention and control areas: Southwest China (Yunnan/Sichuan/Tibet) and Northeast China, which need to be strengthened:

  • Meat quarantine (especially pork/game)
  • Hygiene management of holiday gatherings
