3.2. Molecular characterization of larvae of Trichinella spp

Trichinella spp . larvae from 15 foxes were successfully speciated on multiplex PCR. The DNA of larvae retrieved from four foxes did not amplify, however larval morphology was consistent with Trichinella spp . Larvae retrieved from 14 of the speciated foxes were identified as T. native while larvae retrieved from the remaining tested fox from Ulukhaktok (Victoria Island) were identified as a co-infection with T. nativa and Trichinella T6. All larvae identified as T. nativa on the multiplex PCR were confirmed as such by the PCR-RFLP.
