Trichinellosis, the disease in the dish

Contamination occurs by ingestion of infected meat, consumed raw or insufficiently heat-treated, containing live Trichinella larvae. The incubation period varies between 2-28 days, with an average of 12-14 days. The evolution takes place in three phases, as the ingestion of the infected food follows: • the intestinal stage at 1-2 days, which is manifested by diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, • the stage of larval dissemination in the blood that occurs at 2-3 . The most common symptoms of this period are: fever, facial edema, • the tissue-closure stage of larvae in muscles, which begins in the third week when it falls, but the allergic manifestations persist and can go to the chronic stage when the larvae . How to infest pigsPorces can infest the Trichinella Spiralis parasite if they eat lesions of rats or other infected animals. To prevent human cases of illness, pig holders are required to carry out the trichineloscopic examination for the meat of animals.

Trichinellosis in humans can be treated particularly successfully if the patient consults a doctor immediately after the onset of the condition. .
