Members of this genus are often called trichinella or trichina worms.

Trichinella, also known as the trichina worm, is responsible for the disease trichinosis.

"It's been stored here unrefrigerated for months and it's completely free of trichina worm. "

The inspectors found a lack of safeguards against trichina, the worm whose larvae lodge in a pig's flesh and cause trichinosis, the community says.

His study of Trichina helped support Rudolf Virchow's campaign to create meat inspection laws in Germany.

In particular, we should not continue with the accreditation of trichina laboratories described in Regulation (EC) No 882.

Most are free-living, but the group includes (at least as delimited here) the order Trichurida, which includes whipworms and trichina worms.

The German Empire and other European nations banned American pork products throughout the 1880's because they objected to the presence of trichina worms.

Careful avoidance of meats contaminated by trichina worms, salmonella, and other pathogens; or thorough cooking of questionable meats.

In particular his figures of trichina spiralis, a parasitic worm in the muscles of humans, were copied in many textbooks.

In the 19th century some people attributed the pig taboo in the Middle East to the danger of the parasite trichina, but this explanation is now out of favour.

The term may also be applied to the destruction of parasites such as tapeworm and trichina in meat, in which case the required dose is in the range of 0.1 - 1 kGy.

Among Entozoa, his most noteworthy discovery was that of Trichina spiralis (1835), the parasite infesting the muscles of man in the disease now termed trichinosis (see also, however, Sir James Paget).

But since the industry changed the way it raises pork in the 1960's and the Federal Government made it illegal in the 1970's to feed pigs untreated garbage, the trichina worm is rarely found in pork.

Trichinosis, also called trichinellosis, or trichiniasis, is a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork infected with the larvae of a species of roundworm Trichinella spiralis, commonly called the trichina worm.

Fortunately the majority of these hard-shelled, itinerant "moochers" are harmless enough, yet among those that do inflict damage are found some pretty horrifying creatures, such as Pneumostrongylus, the trichina worm, hookworms, and stomach worms, all of them capable of killing their unwitting hosts.

There was an excitement, just then, about the trichina germ in pork, and one of his memoranda says: I think we are only the microscopic trichina concealed in the blood of some vast creature's veins, and that it is that vast creature whom God concerns himself about and not us.
