Trichinella spiralis is the smallest viviparous nematode parasite, occurring in rodents, pigs, bears,
hyenas and humans, causing trichinosis. It is sometimes referred to as the pork worm due to typical
encountered in undercooked pork products. It should not be confused with the distantly related
pork tapeworm. Trichinosis (trichinellosis) causes headaches, fevers, myalgias, chills, cough, swelling
of the face and eyes, aching joints and muscle pains, itchy skin, diarrhea, or constipation may
follow the first symptoms. But, early clinical diagnosis is so difficult without specific trichinellosis
signs or symptoms. Man becomes infected when eat raw or undercooked meats, particularly bear,
pork, wild feline (such as a cougar), fox, dog, cat, wolf, horse, seal, or walrus may carry the parasite.
Host animals' ingested even high numbers of Trichinella larvae from infectious meat don't
develop clinical symptoms such as those occurred in human patients. Person-to-person spread does
not occur. Mild to moderate infections most symptoms fatigue, weakness, muscle pain, and diarrhea
may last for months subside within a few months. In heavy infection (myocarditis & encephalitis)
patients may experience difficulty coordinating movements, with heart and breathing problems
can be fatal. Mebendazole® and/or Albendazole® killed adults, and thus preventing more release
of infected larvae and stopping infection within the patient
