First Identification of Trichinella pseudospiralis in a Golden Jackal (Canis aureus) in Romania [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
Trichinella spp. are etiological zoonotic agents that spread throughout the world and affect mammals, birds, and reptiles. Within this genus, Trichinella pseudospiralis is the only recognized non-encapsulated species known to infect mammals and birds ...

Trichinella surveillance program in wild birds, Emilia-Romagna (northern Italy), 2006–2021. First report of Trichinella pseudospiralis in western marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus) in Italy [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
The nematode Trichinella pseudospiralis is a cosmopolitan parasite capable of infecting both birds and mammals including humans. T. pseudospiralis has a limited zoonotic importance in comparison to that of the other Trichinella species.

Trichinella pseudospiralis vs. T. spiralis thymidylate synthase gene structure and T. pseudospiralis thymidylate synthase retrogene sequence [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Thymidylate synthase is a housekeeping gene, designated ancient due to its role in DNA synthesis and ubiquitous phyletic distribution. The genomic sequences were characterized coding for thymidylate synthase in two species of the genus ...

First Detection of Trichinella pseudospiralis in the Genus Martes Within a Croatian Mustelid Survey [PDF]

Animals
The prevention of trichinellosis is one of the most important tasks of the public veterinary services. In most EU countries, mandatory testing for parasites of the genus Trichinella includes domestic pigs as well as game species such as wild boar and ...

Recombinant Trichinella pseudospiralis Serine Protease Inhibitors Alter Macrophage Polarization In Vitro

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
During parasite infection, serine protease inhibitors secreted by parasites play important roles in suppressing host defenses. However, the mechanism of immune regulation is unclear.

Second outbreak of Trichinella pseudospiralis in Europe: clinical patterns, epidemiological investigation and identification of the etiological agent based on the western blot patterns of the patients' serum

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2021
Abstract Trichinellosis is a zoonotic disease due to the ingestion of raw or undercooked meat from animals infected with the larvae of nematodes belonging to the genus Trichinella. In January–February 2015, an outbreak of trichinellosis occurred in Genoa, Northern Italy. The epidemiological link was traced back to a dinner served at an agritourism farm

Occurrence of Trichinella Species in Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) Populations Across Bulgaria [PDF]

Animals
Trichinellosis is a natural-focal helminthic zoonosis that affects the skeletal muscle tissue of carnivorous and omnivorous wild and domestic animals. In Europe, four prevalent species belonging to the genus Trichinella have been identified: T. spiralis,

CRISPR-Cas9-mediated host signal reduction for 18S metabarcoding of host-associated eukaryotes. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
Abstract Metabarcoding‐based methods for identification of host‐associated eukaryotes have the potential to revolutionize parasitology and microbial ecology, yet significant technical challenges remain. In particular, highly abundant host reads can mask the presence of less‐abundant target organisms, especially for sample types rich in host DNA (e.g ...
