  1. trichinella spiralis

    Trichinella spiralis is a parasitic roundworm species that can infect humans and other mammals, causing a disease known as trichinosis. This worm is typically transmitted through consuming undercooked or raw meat, most commonly pork, that is infected with the larvae of this species. The adult worms reside in the intestines, but the larvae can migrate to muscle tissue where they can persist and cause significant symptoms. Infections can range from mild to severe, causing damage to the heart, lungs, or nervous system in serious cases.
