==International Commission on trichinellosis==
==[[Trichinosis epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
The International Commission on trichinellosis (ICT) was created in 1958 in Budapest and is aiming to exchange information on the biology, the physiopathology, the epidemiology, the immunology, and the clinical aspects of trichinellosis in humans and animals. Prevention is a primary goal. Since the creation of the ICT, its members (more than 110 from 46 countries) have regularly gathered and worked together during meetings held every 4 years : the [[International Conference on Trichinellosis]].

*Cooking [[meat]] products until the juices run clear or to an internal temperature of 170 °[[Fahrenheit|F]] (77 °[[Celsius|C]]).
==[[Trichinosis natural history, complications, and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
*Freezing pork] less than 6 inches thick for 20 days at 5 °F (−15 °C) or three days at −4 °F (−20 °C) kills larval worms.
*Cooking wild game meat thoroughly. Freezing wild game meats, unlike freezing pork products, even for long periods of time, may not effectively kill all worms. This is because the species of trichinella that typically infects wild game is more resistant to freezing than the species that infects pigs.
*Cooking all meat fed to pigs or other wild animals.
* Keeping pigs in clean pens with floors that can be washed (such as concrete). This is standard in Germany, where raw pork is a common delicacy and trichinosis is rarer than in the U.S.
*Not allowing hogs to eat uncooked carcasses of other animals, including rats, which may be infected with trichinosis.
*Cleaning meat grinders thoroughly when preparing ground meats.
*Control and destruction of meat containing trichinae, e.g., removal and proper disposal of porcine diaphragms prior to public sale of meat.
The [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] makes the following recommendation: "Curing (salting), drying, smoking, or microwaving meat does not consistently kill infective worms."<ref>
