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]
A study of the sera from 197 wild boars from 25 farms slaughtered in Finland between 2007 and 2008 found four (2.0%) of the sera, originating from three (12.0%) farms, to be Trichinella-seropositive. [7] Trichinosis is often diagnosed in humans once the larvae invade the muscle tissue. Some symptoms include fever, myalgia, malaise, and edema.
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.
Infection with trichomoniasis through water is unlikely because Trichomonas vaginalis dies in water after 45–60 minutes, in thermal water after 30 minutes to 3 hours, and in diluted urine after 5–6 hours. [23] There are no routine standard screening requirements for the general U.S. population receiving family planning or STI testing.
Trichomonas vaginalis from a vaginal swab. This is a heavy infection; there were probably thousands of trichomonads in the vagina. Alfred Francois Donné (1801–1878) was the first to describe a procedure to diagnose trichomoniasis through "the microscopic observation of motile protozoa in vaginal or cervical secretions" in 1836.
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]
Nymphaeaceae (/ ˌ n ɪ m f i ˈ eɪ s i. iː,-ˌ aɪ /) is a family of flowering plants, commonly called water lilies. They live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world.
Blight is a rapid and complete chlorosis, browning, then death of plant tissues such as leaves, branches, twigs, or floral organs. [1] Accordingly, many diseases that primarily exhibit this symptom are called blights. Several notable examples are: [citation needed]
