Human trichinellosis in Southeast Asia, 2001-2021.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed data on human trichinellosis outbreaks and seroprevalence in Southeast Asia from 2001 to 2021, highlighting low infection rates in countries like Laos and Vietnam.
- Cultural practices in communities that consume pork contribute significantly to the transmission of the disease, with human outbreaks and cases being relatively rare in the region.
- Trichinellosis tends to be subclinical, with severe cases occurring more often in males, suggesting that the disease might be under-diagnosed and is considered endemic in Southeast Asia.

Trichinella zimbabwensis naturally infects a variety of reptilian and wild mammalian hosts in South Africa. Attempts have been made to experimentally infect piranha fish with T. zimbabwensis and T.

- * Clinical symptoms observed in infected patients included muscle pain, swelling, fatigue, and fever, alongside increased enzyme levels and blood eosinophils.
- * Laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of Trichinella papuae in biopsy samples, a species previously documented in Papua New Guinea and in outbreaks in Thailand.

Outbreaks of trichinellosis caused by Trichinella papuae have been reported in South-East Asia. Mebendazole and thiabendazole are the treatments of choice for trichinellosis; however, both drugs result in significant side effects and are less effective for muscle-stage larvae (L1). An alternative therapeutic agent is needed to improve treatment.

Being able to identify the species or genotype of is of paramount importance not only for epidemiological studies but to better ascertain the source of outbreaks that still occur worldwide. This has become more critical in recent years given the increase in imported meat products and the relationship that wild animals play in the domestic and sylvatic transmission cycles. In contrast to a time when the genus was considered monospecific, research in recent years has revealed that the genus consists of 9 species and at least 3 additional genotypes which have yet to be named.
