Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

A SOP is a set of step-by-step instructions compiled to help workers carry out routine operations. SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output and uniformity of performance, while reducing miscommunication and failure. Description of each SOP developed by EURLP is available as pdf from the list below:

• Experimental infection of mice by Trichinella spp. muscle stage larvae

• Artificial digestion of fish fillets for the isolation of Anisakidae and Opisthorchidae larval stages

• Laboratory surfaces and equipment decontamination from Trichinella spp. larvae

• Mouse Bioassay for the detection of Toxoplasma gondii in meat

• Molecular identification of Sarcocystis species

• Identification of Echinococcus granulosus complex at genotype/species level from hydatid cysts by PCR and sequencing

• Molecular identification of nematode larvae different from those of Trichinella genus detected by artificial digestion method of muscle tissue
