BOB MESHER X2<br />
The Nunavik Research Centre at <strong>Makivik</strong> head office<br />
in Kuujjuaq provided Trichinella diagnostic training<br />
to its employees to bolster their expertise for providing<br />
the 24-hour Trichinella diagnostic service for the<br />
Nunavik Trichinellosis Prevention Program, especially<br />
important for walrus hunters and those in Nunavik and<br />
Nunavut who eat walrus meat.<br />
The training was provided by the Canadian Food<br />
Inspection Agency (CFIA) and was tailored to meet the<br />
needs of the Nunavik Research Centre; therefore this<br />
standardized training in Trichinella testing from did<br />
not include all the requirements for CFIA certification<br />
or any other such qualification. The proficiency test is<br />
composed of two steps: 1) All trainees had to recover<br />
at least 75% of larva in a spiked pork/walrus meatball<br />
whereby the sample for each trainee contained from<br />
three to 15 larvae; and 2) All trainees had to count<br />
the correct number of larvae in the samples under<br />
the microscope at 15X magnification. The course also<br />
included an overview of Trichinella and Trichinellosis<br />
cases worldwide and an orientation on quality assurance<br />
for diagnostic testing.<br />
This project was jointly funded by <strong>Makivik</strong>, KRG,<br />
and the Centre for Food-borne Animal Parasitology,<br />
Canadian Food Inspection Agency Saskatoon. Special<br />
thanks are extended to Alvin Gajadhar, Brad Scandrett<br />
and Cheryl Scheller and the team at CFIA for helping<br />
to organize this session.<br />
