Trichinosis
Trichinosis
Trichinosis is a disease caused by the roundworm (nematode) called Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis). It is readily avoided by proper handling and cooking of certain meats, particularly pork products.
Life cycle of Trichinella spiralis
The life cycle of Trichinella spiralis includes several different stages. The adult worm lives in the intestinal lining of such carnivorous animals as swine, bears, walrus, and rodents. After mating, the male worm dies, while the female worm goes on to develop the offspring.
The embryonic stage, a stage often occurring after birth in many nematode species, occurs within the uterus of the female T. spiralis, so that the offspring which are ultimately discharged from the female are in the larval second stage of life. These larvae (about 1500 from each female worm) travel through the circulatory system, to the heart, then through the blood vessels leading to striated muscle (the muscle of the skeletal system and the heart). Any larvae not arriving in striated muscle will die.
Those larvae that reach striated muscle will grow to a length of about one millimeter, coil, and enclose themselves within a protective wall called a cyst. These cysts continue to live for up to 10 years in this form.
Trichinella spiralis in humans
A pig that has been infected with T. spiralis may have thousands of cysts waiting dormant within its mus-cles-the very muscles that humans look forward to dining on in the form of pork chops, ham, barbecued ribs, etc. When humans sit down to a meal of under-cooked, T. spiralis-infected pig dinner, they are ingesting viable T. spiralis cysts. The cyst walls are broken down by the usual process of food digestion in the stomach, allowing the larvae to continue on to the new host's intestine, where the larvae mature to become adult worms, capable of reproducing a new crop of larvae. When these new larvae are born, they begin their migration throughout the human host's bloodstream to the human host's muscles, where they live for a short while before encysting.
