Veterinary control over the slaughter of food animals to ensure food safety, particularly meat inspection, was introduced in Germany in 1866 specifically to prevent trichinellosis from pork infected with the muscle larvae of Trichinella spiralis ( 1 ). (cdc.gov)
Outbreaks occur in settings where multiple people consume the same Trichinella -infected meat. (cdc.gov)
The classical agent is T. spiralis (found worldwide in many carnivorous and omnivorous animals, both domestic and sylvatic (wild),[citation needed] but seven primarily sylvatic species of Trichinella also are now recognized: T. spiralis is most adapted to swine, most pathogenic in humans, and is cosmopolitan in distribution. (wikipedia.org)
Since Trichinella infections often cause asymptomatic or mild disease and no serological tests with high performance is available, true epidemiology of human trichinellosis is thought still underestimated. (vaccipedia.jp)

Human infection occurs by eating the infected pork, usually as raw or undercooked sausage or meat. (uia.org)

The results showed that ERS occurred during the intestinal phase of T. spiralis infection, while remission began during the cyclic phase. (biomedcentral.com)
Foodborne1
Appreciate that any patient with foodborne illness may ing suspicious symptoms, disease clusters, and etiologic agents, represent the sentinel case of a more widespread outbreak. (cdc.gov)
Food-borne1
As a result of the increase of game meat intended for human consumption through Europe, a plethora of food-borne diseases, including trichinellosis, may occur in consumers, posing a relevant public health threat. (bvsalud.org)
Meanwhile, pork is still considered the major source of outbreaks of trichinellosis in humans in China [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Trichinellosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution that affects humans, and is transmitted by mammals, birds and reptiles. (biomedres.us)
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important cause of acute viral hepatitis in humans worldwide. (bvsalud.org)
Pork3
Over the past 40 years, few cases of trichinellosis have been reported in the United States, and the risk of trichinellosis from commercially raised and properly prepared pork is very low. (cdc.gov)
By the 1860s, trichinellosis was well-recognized as a disorder spread through infected pigs, leading to a cultural aversion to certain pork products, particularly German and Dutch sausage. (medscape.com)
Meat3
Transmission to human occurs by ingestion of raw or undercooked meat including pigs , wild bores , horse , dog , bear , polar bear , badger and soft-shelled turtle (スッポン) . (vaccipedia.jp)
Many human outbreaks reported in recent years across Europe, Asia, and North and South America were reportedly due to consumption of wild boar meat which is currently the second most important source of human trichinellosis [ 5 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Tropics2
While the disease occurs in the tropics, it is less common there. (wikipedia.org)
Trichinellosis distributes worldwide from arctic region through the tropics . (vaccipedia.jp)
Endemic1
Zacatecas Mexico has been considered an endemic area of the disease since 1978, when the first outbreak occurred in the municipality of Villanueva [6], and further outbreaks have been reported since then until present date [7]. (biomedres.us)
Spiralis1
In addition to the public health problem of trichinellosis, the economic losses caused by T. spiralis are huge. (biomedcentral.com)
Causative2
have been found to be the causative agents of human trichinellosis, a disease that not only is a public health hazard by affecting human patients but also represents an economic problem in porcine animal production and food safety. (crimsonpublishers.com)
Communicable diseases, caused by a specific causative agent, occur as the result of the transmission of the agent or its toxic products from an infected person or other reservoir to a susceptible host, either directly or indirectly, through contaminated food, water, objects in general use, an intermediate host, a vector or inanimate objects/ mater in the environment, or through the exchange of fluid contaminated by the infectious agent [ 1 ]. (smj.rs)
Larvae1
Migration of larvae to muscle, which occurs about a week after being infected, can cause swelling of the face, inflammation of the whites of the eyes, fever, muscle pains, and a rash. (wikipedia.org)
Diseases5
s article "The Global Burden of Chronic Diseases" states that "chronic diseases are the principal causes of death and disablement worldwide. (assignology.com)
Communicable diseases remain a significant burden to society, both worldwide and in Serbia. (smj.rs)
Every year, around fifteen million people die worldwide from communicable diseases, most commonly from respiratory infections and diarrheal diseases, AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. (smj.rs)
Infectious diseases remain a significant burden on society, both in Serbia and worldwide. (smj.rs)
For effectively fighting worldwide infectious diseases such as cutaneous leishmaniasis, novel approaches are required. (peertechzpublications.org)
Chile1
almost all are in the USA, with minor outbreaks in Europe, Canada, Chile and Australia. (uia.org)
Primarily1

Prevention1
Citizen science surveillance models could be promoted to improve trichinellosis control and prevention in a One Health perspective. (bvsalud.org)
Public health1
During the late 1940s, when the U.S. Public Health Service began counting cases of trichinellosis, 400 cases in the United States were recorded each year on average. (cdc.gov)
Cases1
In the United States, trichinellosis cases are reported to CDC much less commonly now than in the past (Figure 1). (cdc.gov)
Clinical1
To assess the global incidence and clinical effects of human trichinellosis, we analyzed outbreak report data for 1986-2009. (cdc.gov)
Human trichinellosis in developed countries has been dramatically decreased due to improvement of farming and slaughtering of domestic pigs and shrinkage of backyard pig farming in private facilities. (vaccipedia.jp)
Gathering information on the HEV strains circulating in different geographical areas is useful for tracking the origin of HEV outbreaks and assessing the epidemiological role of wild boar as a potential virus reservoir for domestic pigs. (bvsalud.org)
Report1
The world-first report of trichinellosis originated from soft-shelled turtle was published in Japan in 2009 (but only in Japanese and neglected from English literature). (vaccipedia.jp)
Areas1
[ 7 ] This resurgence has particular relevance to emergency medicine because people may present to EDs in areas with little or no presence of trichinellosis locally, as they may have contracted it while travelling and because early diagnosis is associated with improved treatment outcomes.
