Trichinosis is mainly spread when undercooked meat containing Trichinella cysts is eaten. [1] In North America this is most often bear, but infection can also occur from pork, boar, and dog meat. [7] Several species of Trichinella can cause disease, with T. spiralis being the most common. [1]
Trichinella spiralis is a viviparous [1] nematode parasite, occurring in rodents, pigs, bears, hyenas and humans, and is responsible for the disease trichinosis.It is sometimes referred to as the "pork worm" due to it being typically encountered in undercooked pork products.
Trichinella is the genus of parasitic roundworms of the phylum Nematoda that cause trichinosis (also known as trichinellosis). Members of this genus are often called trichinella or trichina worms . A characteristic of Nematoda is the one-way digestive tract, with a pseudocoelom (body cavity made up of only an ectoderm and endoderm ).

Trichinella britovi is a nematode parasite responsible for a zoonotic disease called trichinellosis.Currently, eight species of Trichinella are known, [1] only three of which cause trichinellosis, and Trichinella britovi is one of them. [2]
It is encapsulated, and infects a wide variety of mammals and birds. Its lifecycle and pathogenesis are similar to Trichinella spiralis; T. nativa also can cause trichinosis. In Northern Europe T. nativa is a species commonly found in omnivores and carnivores such as wild boars, foxes, raccoon dogs and bears. [1] [2]
