Trichinella and Trichinosis

Abstract

Most of the broad aspects of the life cycle of Trichinella were uncovered during the 50 years following its discovery and description by Paget and Owen in 1835 and are highlighted in Chapter 1, which deals with the history of this nematode. Nevertheless, many details of its enterai and parenteral life were not described until after 1960, and many have yet to be described. For instance, it is now known that Trichinella lives as an intracellular parasite, except for its brief life as a migratory newborn larva, making it the largest example of this type of commonly occurring organism. These findings have radically influenced thinking concerning the specific ways in which Trichinella derives its livelihood from the host.
