[The comparative morphology of Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella pseudospiralis]. 1997

F K Skvortsova, and N L Veretennikova

The comparative study of the morphology of invasive larvae and mature males and females T. spiralis and T. pseudospiralis at the head end of the parasites has revealed 14 papillae which are located in 3 circles and 2 which are placed bilaterally, 2 amphidae, and a lanceolar stiletto with a spicular cutting edge. There are no differences in the structure of the heads of these two Trichinella species. The larval cuticle is decorated only with cross folds while longitudinal small-sized folds which are arranged in regular rows appeared in mature species. The vulva in females is located at the levels of a fifth of the body from the head, it is slit-like and oval, that in T. pseudospiralis is situated at the cuticular projection. The anus in T. pseudospiralis larvae is as a cross oval slit, that in adult females is as a hemisphere, and in adult males it is coincident with the copulation pore. As for the structure of the pseudobursa, differences are found in the size and shape of copulation processes, in the arrangement of pre- and postanal papillae against the cloaca, in the size of the formed cuticular projections in T. spiralis, in the shape of the cloacal hole. In the unscrewed copulatory bell, it opens transversely in T. spiralis and vertically in T. pseudospiralis.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007814	Larva	Wormlike or grublike stage, following the egg in the life cycle of insects, worms, and other metamorphosing animals.	Maggots,Tadpoles,Larvae,Maggot,Tadpole
D008297	Male		Males
D008855	Microscopy, Electron, Scanning	Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014234	Trichinella	A genus of parasitic nematodes that causes TRICHINELLOSIS in man and other animal.	Trichina,Trichinas,Trichinellas
D014235	Trichinellosis	An infection with TRICHINELLA. It is caused by eating raw or undercooked meat that is infected with larvae of nematode worms TRICHINELLA genus. All members of the TRICHINELLA genus can infect human in addition to TRICHINELLA SPIRALIS, the traditional etiological agent. It is distributed throughout much of the world and is re-emerging in some parts as a public health hazard and a food safety problem.

D017160	Trichinella spiralis	A parasite of carnivorous mammals that causes TRICHINELLOSIS. It is especially common in rats and in swine fed uncooked garbage. Human infection is initiated by the consumption of raw or insufficiently cooked pork or other meat containing the encysted larvae.
