In this study, S3 antigen of T. spiralis and T. pseudospiralis was given to the heterologous infection in albino mice. The recovered larvae were studied as regards: their number, length and steroscan examination. It was found that vaccination of mice with T. spiralis (S3) antigen induced reduction in T. pseudospiralis larval count by 66.43% and significant reduction in length. Using T. pseudospiralis (S3) antigen reduction of 74.77% in T. spiralis larval count was detected as well as significant reduction in length. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination revealed more or less similar finding in both species: loss of integrity of the cuticle, some of the larvae were attacked by granulocytes mainly eosinophils and few larvae appeared completely destructed with loss of normal architecture. A peculiar finding was noticed in case of T. pseudospiralis larvae in form of fine electron dense deposits giving the cuticular surface a motling appearance.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the survival of and in decaying wild boar tissue and assess their freezing tolerance in experimentally infected animals.
Methods: The present study was conducted in Buenos Aires City, Argentina during the 2018-2019 period. Two wild boars were used, one infected with 20,000 muscle larvae (ML) of and the other with .

Introduction: We studied the cellular immune response in a patient infected since 10 months (along with other 51 people) during a trichinellosis outbreak caused by Trichinella spp.
Methods: A 46 years old female resulted serologically positive for trichinellosis. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and incubated them with excretory/secretory antigens (ESA) of Trichinella spiralis (T1) or Trichinella pseudospiralis (T4) to produce antigen specific T cell lines and clones, analysed for the phenotype (T helper or cytotoxic cells), for their T4 or T1 antigens specificity and for their cytokine profile (IFNγ, IL-17A, IL-4) by flow cytometry, thymidine incorporation assay and ELISpot.

Article Synopsis
- In Germany, Trichinella spp. primarily affect wild animals like wild boar, foxes, and raccoon dogs, with T. spiralis being the most commonly detected species.
- Legal requirements mandate that all hunted wild boars and other at-risk animals be tested for Trichinella if their meat is for human consumption.
- There has been a rising prevalence of Trichinella-positive wild boar in Germany, especially in the northeastern regions bordering Poland, highlighting the need for preventive measures and thorough inspections to manage the spread.

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.

Trichinella spiralis was long considered the sole Trichinella species in Argentina. However, since 2004, various Trichinella species, including the encapsulated Trichinella patagoniensis and Trichinella britovi, as well as the unencapsulated Trichinella pseudospiralis, have been detected in the country. The present study aimed to identify Trichinella ML at the species level from cougars naturally infected from Argentina.
