New pieces of the Trichinella puzzle

Abstract: Contrary to our understanding of just a few decades ago, the genus Trichinella now consists of a complex assemblage of no less than nine different species and three additional genotypes whose taxonomic status remains in flux. New data and methodologies have allowed advancements in detection and differentiation at the population level which in turn have demonstrably advanced epidemiological, immunological and genetic investigations. In like manner, molecular and genetic studies have permitted us to hypothesise … Show more

“…Several species of the genus Trichinella have been identifi ed as infecting both synanthropic and wild vertebrates in all continents but Antarctica (Pozio & Murrell, 2006;Pozio, et al, 2009;Pozio & Zarlenga, 2013). However, in Chile, reports of Trichinella parasitization are mostly restricted to synanthropic mammals such as pigs, rats, dogs, and cats (Álvarez, et al, 1970;Schenone, et al, 1999).…”

“…Trichinella pseudospiralis is the first discovered non-encapsulated Trichinella species (Garkavi, 1972), unique among other species by infectivity not only for mammals, but also for avian species. Trichinella pseudospiralis is known to have a cosmopolitan distribution and world-wide, 63 isolates of the species have been detected in mammals and birds to date (Pozio & Zarlenga, 2013). In Europe, so far two cases of T. pseudospiralis infection have been documented in sedentary night-birds of prey in central Italy -in a tawny owl (Strix aluco) and a little owl (Athene noctua) by Pozio et al (1999).…”
