Title: Risk Evaluation of Passive Transmission of Animal Parasites by Feeding of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae and Prepupae
Abstract: Black soldier fly larval intestine extracts do not affect coccidian oocysts or nematode eggs. Studied parasites passed through black soldier fly larvae or attached to the larval surface. Black soldier fly larvae as animal feed may pose a risk of parasite transmission. Larval washing is not sufficient for removing parasites; further hygiene steps are needed.
