Trichinosis is mainly spread when undercooked meat containing Trichinella cysts is eaten. [1] Wild meat is more likely to contain the parasite. [7] [8] In North America this is most often bear, but infection can also occur from pork, boar, and dog meat. [9] Several species of Trichinella can cause disease, with T. spiralis being the most common ...
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 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.
The agency presumed that all six family members had trichinellosis, a disease caused by eating undercooked meat contaminated with Trichinella larvae. Such infections are rare. From January 2016 to ...
Trichinosis: Trichinella spiralis, Trichinella britovi, Trichinella nelsoni, Trichinella nativa: muscle, periorbital region, small intestine blood more common in developing countries due to improved feeding practices in developed countries. ingestion of undercooked pork Whipworm: Trichuris trichiura, Trichuris vulpis: large intestine, anus ...
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 ]
The sylvatic cycle, also enzootic or sylvatic transmission cycle, is a portion of the natural transmission cycle of a pathogen. Sylvatic refers to the occurrence of a subject in or affecting wild animals.
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.
