Trichinella nelsoni is frequently described in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a parasitic nematode that influences wild animals, causing severe diseases. It was isolated in South Africa from Greater Kruger National Park. Other species, like Trichinella T8 and T. zimbabwensis in endemic regions are studied to understand the transmission cycles of T. nelsoni.
The cases reported from Trichinella nelsoni causing trichinellosis are rare, but a recent study reported that about 96 cases were confirmed in 12 countries. In 2019, this pathogen occurred in the EEA and EU and significant cases were documented from Italy, Spain, and Bulgaria.
Trichinellosis occurrences are complicated to figure out at a national level due to their often-small scale. In Thailand, 118 cases have been reported caused in an accidental contamination that led to an outbreak since 1962, almost 5400 individuals are affected, with death reports of 95 patients. Many regions are concluded as endemic places for T. nelsoni often involved transmission of parasites between domestic animals and local wildlife.
Trichinella nelsoni worms are microscopic, and the morphology differs from male to female. About 2.2 mm length measures in females, and males are smaller than females with a size of 1.2 mm.
T. nelsoni life cycle starts with the consumption of undercooked meat which is contaminated by encysted larvae. Thess larvae are released by the cycst when present in pepsin and gastric acid, later it invades to small bowel mucosa.
The larvae mature has an adult worm in a bowel mucosa with a lifespan of 4 weeks, the females complete the life cycle by releasing larvae that move to the encyst and striated muscles of the host.
Trichinella nelsoni was identified with EV protein antigens (Extracellular Vesicle Proteins). These antigens trigger an innate immune reaction after entering the host blood. An antigen s-TTPA, or protease domain protein was recently identified from immunology research.
Trichinellanelsoni also synthesizes proteinases, proteinases, and endonucleases throughout the infectivity. The trypsin domain is detected in early stage of infection which is analyzed during anti-His antibody reaction.
Trichinella nelsoni is distributed only in equatorial African animals. It has recognised genotypes like Trichinella T6, T8, and T9 and four unique marker allozymes are being documented.
Trichinella nelsoni triggers trichinellosis. The parasitic worm is transferred by the consumption of precooked or raw mutton. The parasite can be acquired by connection through feces of wild animals in endemic areas or domestic animals. After the encysting larvae, it triggers stomach pain, and it develops in to fully grown worms after exposed to pepsin and gastric acid.
Trichinellanelsoni disrupts the intestinal function during the enteral phase and enhances its reproduction criteria in their acute infection period. Once the parasite is completely spread across different organs, it enters parenteral phase by invading muscle tissues, causing an allergic response and inflammation. Long term infections may occur in constant consumption of larvae, which leads to periorbital edema with diarrhea and abdominal cramps. The disorder, if not detected at early periods of the parasite, it arises into adrenal gland insufficiency and hypokalemia.
The inflammatory reaction occurs during larval progression to muscle tissues, it releases several neutrophiles to the infection site to resist the parasite. The eosinophils are released during the acute phase of the infection, it combats the antigens released by Trichinellanelsoni, like eggs or larval cells.
The anti-inflammatory and non-steroidal medicines are prescribed for the reduction of the swelling and acute muscle aching. The analgesics is prescribed to alleviate myalgia and counter the disease. When larvae migrate to other body parts, it ruptures the mucosal layer of the tissues and triggers macrophages to chase the pathogen and engulf it immediately, for some extent.
Trichinellosis is the severe illness caused by Trichinellanelsoni. The signs after consumption of Trichinella larvae one week post infection occurs as diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps.
After 2 or 3 weeks, the parasitic load increases, which leads to systemic signs like myalgia (muscle sting), periorbital or facial edema and petechiae over the skin’s epidermal layer, preceding to subconjunctival hemorrhages.
The standard diagnosis method to detect Trichinella nelsoni is Antibody Test in the blood. This method is achieved by a serological approach. The primary diagnostic process includes analyzing clinical symptoms and through laboratory tests.
The Trichinella antibody test detects specific immunoglobin cells released during the infection. The trichinellosis is confirmed by a positive antibody test and compatible symptoms displayed by the patient.
The disease is also confirmed by analyzing the biopsy of the infected patient. This method is useful during the second week of infection progress, in which the muscle tissue sample can show the presence of cysts and larvae of the parasite. The recent infection is identified by specific muscle inflammation.
The raw meat of wild animals or birds should be properly cooked and must be heated to a standard temperature. Clean the surfaces and instruments used for preparing meat. Carefully clean cuts or wounds caused during chopping meat.
Properly preserve meat (pork) using standard preservative techniques like microwaving meat, curing (salting), and drying. For destroying worms, the meat must be sliced to less than 6 inches and frozen below 5°F.
