trichina
A trichina is a small, slender parasitic worm also known as Trichinella spiralis. The larvae of this worm can infect tissues of humans and other mammals, typically by being ingested in undercooked or raw meat, especially pork. This results in a disease known as trichinosis, which can cause symptoms such as muscle pain, fever, and swelling.
Webster Dictionary
Trichinanoun
a small, slender nematoid worm (Trichina spiralis) which, in the larval state, is parasitic, often in immense numbers, in the voluntary muscles of man, the hog, and many other animals. When insufficiently cooked meat containing the larvae is swallowed by man, they are liberated and rapidly become adult, pair, and the ovoviviparous females produce in a short time large numbers of young which find their way into the muscles, either directly, or indirectly by means of the blood. Their presence in the muscles and the intestines in large numbers produces trichinosis
