Presentation
Striae are present in most parts of the cuticle of T, nativa. By contrast, the amorphous cuticle of T. pseudospiralis is not striated, it stains for carbohydrates and AMS. [folia.paru.cas.cz]
A single GTT trinucleotide present in the ITS-2 sequence of T. nativa but not in Trichinella T6 was used as a genetic marker to study gene flow for this character in both a murine infection model and in larvae from naturally-infected Alaskan wolves. [digitalcommons.unl.edu]
Nine patients presented individually at a local emergency department in Northern Ontario within several days of each other. [academic.oup.com]

- Hunting
In the last decade, the grey seal population of the sub-arctic Baltic Sea has reached a level at which hunting is possible and seal meat is now available for food. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Fever
Within 2 weeks of the diarrheal illness, systemic symptoms developed in all exposed individuals characterized by fever, myalgia, periorbital edema, and fatigue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Trichinellosis is caused by the ingestion of undercooked meat containing encysted larvae, the first signs include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort. [parasite.wormbase.org]
Approximately 2 weeks postconsumption, the patients returned for assessment with diffuse myalgia, periorbital edema, fever, and fatigue. [academic.oup.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
Trichinellosis is caused by the ingestion of undercooked meat containing encysted larvae, the first signs include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort. [parasite.wormbase.org]
Each patient demonstrated nonbloody watery diarrhea, diffuse abdominal pain, fever, and nausea; 1 patient also had a diffuse maculopapular rash ( Figure 1 ). [academic.oup.com]
- Vomiting
Trichinellosis is caused by the ingestion of undercooked meat containing encysted larvae, the first signs include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort. [parasite.wormbase.org]
Musculoskeletal
- Myalgia
Within 2 weeks of the diarrheal illness, systemic symptoms developed in all exposed individuals characterized by fever, myalgia, periorbital edema, and fatigue. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Phase II: muscular (parental) phase Onset 2 to 3 weeks after ingestion Fever Myalgias Edema Major systems affected: Gastrointestinal Musculoskeletal Other systems affected: Renal Proteinuria 85% Mortality up to 26% ( 2 )[ C ] Neurologic Paralysis Encephalitis [unboundmedicine.com]
Approximately 2 weeks postconsumption, the patients returned for assessment with diffuse myalgia, periorbital edema, fever, and fatigue. [academic.oup.com]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
Furthermore, our model suggests that transmission declines with bear age, perhaps due to age-dependent changes in diet or immunity. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
In this study, we detected both genotypes in wolves of the same wolf packs in Alaska, suggesting sympatry. [digitalcommons.unl.edu]
Taken as a whole, the evidence suggests that these isolates derive from the T. nativa matrilineage, but that their nuclear genomes resemble individuals previously designated as Trichinella T6. [pubag.nal.usda.gov]
Higher incidence in Alaska and Northeastern United States Autopsy studies suggest that most mild cases are probably undiagnosed. [unboundmedicine.com]
Of note, evidence has surfaced indicating hybrid forms consisting of crosses between T. nativa and the T6 genotypes, suggesting that microsatellites might be more appropriate for delineating hybrids [ 27–29 ]. [academic.oup.com]
Neurologic
- Confusion
Transmission to a host is a key component of each life cycle but the difficulty of observing host–parasite contacts has often led to confusion surrounding transmission pathways. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
