| Summary: | An abstract of the research paper presented to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University Malaysia Kelantan, in partial requirement on the course DVT55204 – Research Project. Trichinellosis is a disease caused by Trichinella sp. This is an emerging and, in some regions, re-emerging parasitic disease with socio-economic consequences in some eveloping countries. The parasitic nematode Trichinella sp. are also found to be the causative agent of human trichinellosis which is a disease that not only raise alarms in the public health aspect but also can result in a detrimental negative impact to the economy of the porcine animal production of the country due to swine being the intermediate host. This is an identification study to determine the presence of these parasitic nematodes within the commercial pork meat in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. A total of 30 pork meat were collected from the local pork meat market here in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The meat sample collected was inspected by the digestion method to separate the larvae if they are present in the meat. At the end of this study, no Trichinella sp. was detected under the stereomicroscope after the meat digestion process.
