In the western world edible insects have gained increased recognition for their taste, nutritional value, and potential for commercial-scale production of foods for human consumption and animal feed. The presence of food-borne parasites in insects is therefore a concern due to the potential hazards it may cause consumers. In this study we developed a viability assay including trypsin treatment of trematodeDicrocoelium dendriticum metacercariae from the abdomen of the red wood antFormica polyctena. Then we tested the viability ofD. dendriticum metacecariae in relation to: (1) freezing (-20 and -80 °C); (2) boiling (100 °C); and (3) ethanol (50%). The metacercariae in all controlants were alive and displayed movements either in the cyst, or after excystation, whereas all metacercariae from all treatment groups were recorded as dead. Freezing at -20 or -80 °C for 30 min, boiling for 1 min or storage in 50% ethanol for 24 h proved effective in killing the lancet liver flukeD. dendriticum metacercariae.
