Wet mount examination of leg muscle of the harvested black bear was performed. Examination of the undigested meat processed with the blender revealed encysted and coiled larvae (A), whereas digested meat processed by concentration via Baermann funnel and centrifugation of settled material revealed both excysted coiled and uncoiled larvae (B).
