Salmonella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica, Toxoplasma gondii and Trichinella spp. are the most relevant biological hazards in the context of meat inspection of pigs in the European Union (EU). These zoonotic pathogens show no clinical symptoms or gross pathological lesions in pigs, and thus are not detectable with current meat inspection procedures, except Trichinella spp. by laboratory analysis. In this study, we analysed the serological prevalence of these pathogens in Finnish fattening pigs and evaluated serological monitoring as a control method. In total, we studied 1353 meat juice samples and 1793 serum samples of fattening pigs using commercial ELISA kits. The seroprevalence of pathogenic Yersinia spp. was the highest of the studi...
