Any of several parasitic roundworms, of the genus Trichinella, that infects the intestines and causes trichinosis
Their presence in the muscles and the intestines in large numbers produces trichinosis
parasitic nematode occurring in the intestines of pigs and rats and human beings and producing larvae that form cysts in skeletal muscles
Species (Trichinella spiralis) of parasitic nematode, found worldwide, that causes the disease trichinosis. Trichinae (or trichinas), 0.06-0.2 in. (1.5-4 mm) long, mate in the host's small intestine. Fertilized females penetrate the intestinal wall and release larvae, which the blood carries throughout the body. The larvae grow, mature, and become encysted within muscle tissue. The digestive juices of an animal that eats the muscle tissue break down the cyst, liberating the larvae for further development; the worms mature, and the cycle begins again
{i} parasitic worm which lives in the intestine and whose larva encysts in muscle tissue, Trichinella spiralis
A small, slender nematoid worm (Trichina spiralis) which, in the larval state, is parasitic, often in immense numbers, in the voluntary muscles of man, the hog, and many other animals
When insufficiently cooked meat containing the larvæ is swallowed by man, they are liberated and rapidly become adult, pair, and the ovoviviparous females produce in a short time large numbers of young which find their way into the muscles, either directly, or indirectly by means of the blood
