Trichinella pseudospiralis can infect humans by eating raw meat with nematode larvae. This parasite travels globally via a wildlife cycle involving pigs, horses, and other animals. Wildlife sometimes mixes with livestock, spreading the infection to farm animals. Found everywhere except Antarctica, T. pseudospiralis causes outbreaks from undercooked wild meat. Bears, moose, and boars often harbor the larvae.
Trichinella pseudospiralis differs from other Trichinella species. Unlike some relatives, it doesn’t form capsules in host muscles. The larvae move freely throughout muscle tissues without being encapsulated. Categorized in the Trichinella genus, T. pseudospiralis infects mammals and birds globally.
The worms are around 2.46 mm long. They have a similar width across their bodies. Females possess a mouth tool used to cut into the host’s tissues and blood vessels, making them bigger than males.
T. pseudospiralis goes through several stages in its life cycle. A fertilized egg develops into a coeloblastula first. After that, gastrulation occurs. Then, embryos form. The larvae burrow into the lining of the host’s digestive system. They travel to striated muscles, especially in the diaphragm, jaws, tongue, larynx, and eyes.
This text has insights into Trichinella pseudospiralis’s order and grouping.
It’s a member of the Trichinella genus, which includes various kinds. Mammals and birds worldwide can catch this Trichinella species.
Unlike some Trichinella species, T. pseudospiralis won’t make capsules in host muscles. The larvae are uncovered and can wander freely in muscle tissue.
Adult T. pseudospiralis worms have similar widths, around 2.46 mm long. Females, bigger than males, have mouth stylets for cutting host tissues and vessels.
The life cycle starts with a fertilized egg becoming a coeloblastula, then gastrulation, and finally embryo formation. The larvae pierce the mucosa and get carried to striated muscles like the diaphragm, jaws, tongue, larynx, and eyes.
The immune system can detect various excretory-secretory (E-S) proteins from Trichinella pseudospiralis. These antigens are key to diagnosing and understanding the body’s response to infection. Scientists have found promising T. pseudospiralis E-S proteins for species-specific tests, like:
5′-nucleotidase, a potential diagnostic antigen due to its immune reactivity.
A serine-type protease/proteinase, possibly involved in infection and targeted by immunity.
The gp43 glycoprotein, recognized by host antibodies across Trichinella species.
The p49 protein, found in multiple spots on 2D gels, hinting at modifications.
The beginning is ingesting raw or undercooked meat with infective larvae. Soon after, in the stomach, gastric acid and pepsin free these larvae.
They then proceed to invade the small bowel mucosa. Over 6 to 8 days, the larvae develop into adult worms here. The females release new larvae that travel via the bloodstream to various muscles. Here, they penetrate muscle cells.
It triggers an inflammatory response in the body. Symptoms like fever, muscle pain, and eye puffiness occur. Additionally, the immune system reacting to these larvae causes allergic symptoms. These contribute to the disease’s overall clinical picture.

Trichinella pseudospiralis is a parasite. Humans get infected by eating undercooked meat with the parasite’s larvae. Symptoms can appear in stages. First, nausea, stomach pain, and diarrhea may occur soon after eating the infected meat. It is the gastrointestinal phase. Around a week later, the larvae start invading muscle tissues. This muscle invasion phase brings swelling around the eyes and face, eye redness, fever, muscle aches, small bleeding spots under the skin, rashes, and high levels of a particular blood cell type called eosinophils. In rare severe cases, life threatening problems like heart muscle inflammation, brain and nervous system issues, and lung inflammation can happen.
Properly cook meat to kill any worm larvae. Pork, wild boar, and game meats need thorough internal cooking temperatures.
Inspect all meat following strict regulations, especially for pork and game. This prevents infected meat sales.
Use a thermometer when cooking meat. Don’t sample undercooked portions. These may harbor parasites.
Always wash hands with soap and warm water after touching raw meat. You could accidentally ingest worm larvae.
Teach the public about the risks of undercooked meat and proper cooking methods. Awareness prevents sickness.
In areas with parasites, control farm animal exposure. It stops the spread to domestic livestock.
