Little data exist on the frequency of Trichinella infection in dogs. In Finland, which has a very high prevalence of Trichinella in wildlife, dogs were serologically found to have an infection frequency between 4.9% and 8.6%. However, in the same study, cysts were detected in the muscle of only one of 102 dogs. [66]
Wood affected by woodworm. Signs of woodworm usually consist of holes in the wooden item, with live infestations showing powder (faeces), known as frass, around the holes.. The size of the holes varies, but they are typically 1 to 1.5 millimetres (5 ⁄ 128 to 1 ⁄ 16 in) in diameter for the most common household species, although they can be much larger in the case of the house longhorn beet

Salt, vinegar, hand sanitizer, soapy water, and citrus oil should all work, as should freezing the worm overnight or placing it in direct sunlight for several hours.
Dogs with increased risk of infection: i.e. those used in sports, competitions, shows, or those kept in kennels can be given two treatments 4 weeks before and 2–4 weeks after the event. Professional dogs: i.e. therapy, rescue, or police dogs: 12 times a year, if excretion of worm eggs is to be excluded.
The eggs are white, slightly pointed at one end and sticky. [3] [4] Eggs measure on average 0.7 mm (~0.03 in) in length and 0.5 mm (~0.02 in) in width. [1] The larvae are creamy-white with six legs, black jaws, a pair of eyespots on either side of the head. They grow to about 11 mm (0.4 in) long, making them the largest Ptininae found in ...
