Enhanced Genomic and Transcriptomic Resources for and to Underpin the Discovery of Molecular Differences between Stages and Species.

Nematodes of the genus are important pathogens of humans and animals. This study aimed to enhance the genomic and transcriptomic resources for (non-encapsulated phenotype) and (encapsulated phenotype) and to explore transcriptional profiles. First, we improved the assemblies of the genomes of (code ISS13) and (code ISS534), achieving genome sizes of 56.

The illegal rearing and slaughtering of pigs in the wild on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia favor an increase in the biomass of Trichinella britovi in wild boars (Sus scrofa) but do not affect the serological prevalence of infection.

Background: Worms of the nematode genus Trichinella are zoonotic pathogens with a worldwide distribution. The first report of Trichinella on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia was for Trichinella britovi, one of the four species of this genus circulating in Europe, which was identified in 2005 following an outbreak of trichinellosis in humans due to the consumption of pork from pigs reared in the wild. Since then, T.

The impact of globalization and climate change on spp. epidemiology.

The main reservoir hosts of nematodes of the genus are wild carnivores, although most human infections are caused by the consumption of pork. This group of zoonotic parasites completes the entire natural life cycle within the host organism. However, there is an important phase of the cycle that has only been highlighted in recent years and which concerns the permanence of the infecting larvae in the striated muscles of the host carcasses waiting to be ingested by a new host.
