The problems of the taxonomic individuality of natural arctic Trichinella strain (ATS) attacks (in connection with the phenomena of the clinical epidemiological peculiarities of trichinosis in humans produced by this strain) have been studied (Ozeretskovskaya and Uspenskiy 1957; Ozeretskovskaya 1956, 1968). Further, there has been established a sharp destruction of the process of encapsulation ...

Because of its role in human disease, there are increasing global requirements for reliable diagnostic and control methods for Trichinella in food animals to ensure meat safety and to facilitate trade. Consequently, there is a need for standardization of methods, programs, and best practices used in the control of Trichinella and trichinellosis. This review article describes the biology and epi...

Trichinellosis and cystic and alveolar echinococcosis are serious parasitic diseases transmissible between animals and humans. Moreover, alveolar echinococcosis is considered one of the most dangerous of human helminthoses. Roma communities are particularly numerous in Central and Eastern Europe. They are often concentrated in economically undeveloped regions and live in segregated localities w...

Studying parasites of the genus Trichinella provides scientists of today many advantages. This is a group of zoonotic nematodes that circulates freely among wildlife hosts with one in particular, Trichinella spiralis that is exceptionally well adapted to domestic swine. Recent reports suggest that human infections from hunted animals are on the rise worldwide and numerous countries still experi...

Control of Trichinella infection in U.S. pork has traditionally been accomplished by inspection of individual carcasses at slaughter or by post-slaughter processing to inactivate parasites. We propose that an alternative to individual carcass testing or processing can be used when pigs are raised in production systems where risk of exposure to Trichinella spiralis has been mitigated. Declines i...

background: the intraperitoneal injection is a common method for establishing the experimental animal model infected with parasites. the aim of this study was to investigate if the intraperitoneal injection was another route of trichinella spiralis infection. methods:  from june to july 2015, twenty balb/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with 300 t. spiralis muscle larvae in department of ...

Repeated outbreaks of trichinellosis caused by the consumption of Trichinella-infected walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) meat, which have sometimes led to serious morbidity, have stimulated Inuit communities in Nunavik (northern Quebec), Canada, to develop an innovative trichinellosis prevention program. The program involves preconsumption testing of meat samples from harvested walrus at a regional la...
