Trichinosis, also known as trichinellosis, is a parasitic disease caused by roundworms of the Trichinella genus. [1] During the initial infection, invasion of the intestines can result in diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting. [1]
Trichinosis is often diagnosed in humans once the larvae invade the muscle tissue. Some symptoms include fever, myalgia, malaise, and edema.

The signs and symptoms of helminthiasis depend on a number of factors including: the site of the infestation within the body; the type of worm involved; the number of worms and their volume; the type of damage the infesting worms cause; and, the immunological response of the body. Where the burden of parasites in the body is light, there may be ...
