Helminth parasite infections in swine represent a significant, but understudied health concern for both the swine industry and consumers. While many parasitic infections cause subclinical infections, infected swine pose a public health risk from consumption of contaminated meat products. In swine, infection with parasites has also been shown to negatively impact pig performance and impede weight gain (Kipper et al., 2011; Pittman et al., 2010). Toxoplasma gondii is one of the top pathogens responsible for fatal foodborne infections in the US (Mead et al., 1999). While T. gondii has been recovered from retail pork products, the importance of direct transmission from the consumption of contaminated pork products is still unclear (Dubey et al., 2008). Transmission occurs through ingestion of infected meat containing parasitic, infective cysts (Davies et al, 1998). Trichuris suis and Ascaris suum are both common nematodes identified in swine, with prevalence widely ranging and depending on location and farm practices (Nedjsum et al., 2012). Trichinellosis, while rare in humans, can be associated with consumption of undercooked noncommercial, or antibiotic free (ABF), pork contaminated with Trichinella (Davies et al., 2011). From 2002-2007 there were 54 reported cases of trichinellosis in the US, with 19% of those cases attributed to the consumption of pork products (Kennedy et al., 2009). Nearly half of the worldwide population is infected with one of the above mentioned parasites, with symptoms ranging from diarrhea to malnutrition and occasionally death (Hall et al., 2008). The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii, Trichinella, T. suis, and A. suum in indoor conventionally raised and outdoor Antimicrobial free (ABF) swine.
