Trichinella Nelsoni

Presented by scientists from 17 countries throughout the world, the papers are the record of the Sixth International Conference on Trichinellosis held at Val Morin, Quebec Province, Canada, July 8–12, 1984. [books.google.es]

  • Weakness

    Myalgia was observed in 88 per cent, muscle weakness in 60 per cent, myositis in 62 per cent and arthralgia in 20 per cent of the patients. The arthralgia score was strictly related to myalgias-myositis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Suggestibility

    The biochemical results suggest the presence of genetic heterogeneity in T. nelsoni and support the existence of a zoogeographical segregation of the two gene pools. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Higher incidence in Alaska and Northeastern United States Autopsy studies suggest that most mild cases are probably undiagnosed. [unboundmedicine.com]

  • Trichinella Spiralis

    Infections with the parasite Trichinella spiralis have undoubtedly been present for thousands of years, but it was only 150 years ago that the parasite was associated with clinical disease in man and subsequently with the consumption of raw or inadequately [books.google.es]

T. nelsoni-related infection appears to induce musculoskeletal symptoms in the majority of patients, but the long term course and prognosis is favourable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
