Trichinae: meaning, definitions and examples
๐ท
trichinae
[ trษชหkaษชni ]
parasitic worm
Trichinae are a group of parasitic roundworms belonging to the family Trichinidae. These worms are known for causing a disease called trichinosis in humans and animals, primarily through the consumption of undercooked meat, especially pork. When ingested, the larvae can invade muscle tissues, leading to various symptoms such as fever, muscle pain, and gastrointestinal disturbances. The life cycle of Trichinae involves the encystment of larvae in animal muscles, which can serve as a source of infection for predators, including humans.
Synonyms
Trichinella, parasitic nematode.
Examples of usage
- Consumers should be aware of Trichinae in undercooked pork.
- Proper cooking can kill Trichinae larvae.
- Trichinae infections can lead to serious health issues.

Etymology
The term 'trichinae' originates from the Greek word 'trichinos', meaning 'hairy', which refers to the appearance of these microscopic organisms. The family Trichinidae was first recognized in the 19th century, as scientists began to understand the life cycle and pathogenicity of these worms. Trichinae gained notoriety for their role in trichinosis, a disease that has been recorded throughout history. The consumption of undercooked pork led to numerous outbreaks, particularly in regions where meat was not adequately cooked. Awareness and prevention measures have since increased, notably with public health campaigns focusing on proper meat preparation and cooking practices.
