DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR TRICHINOSIS IN EXPERIMENTALLY INFECTED LABORATORY ANIMALS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B10/02 G01N1/28 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: diagnosis of trichinosis in experimentally infected laboratory animals is enabled by microscopy. The compressed samples of animal's muscular tissue are analysed for the presence, count and viability of trichina larvae. The analysis is intravital. The weight of biopsy material of skeletal muscles is 1-1.5 mg. The biopsy material is compressed between two slides; compression intensity and constant to impulsive character are varied manually in microscopy. Repeated analysis of the animal's biopsy material is carried out in various time after infection with standard doses of invasive material used in modeling invasion.

EFFECT: technique improves information value and accelerates examination of laboratory animals experimentally infected by trichinosis.
