Abstract

Trichinellosis, caused by 13 species/subspecies/genotypes in the nematode genus Trichinella, is a worldwide zoonosis. In the United States, trichinellosis was of historical and economic significance because of European restrictions on the import of U.S. pork. Before the advent of effective protective measures, most cases of trichinellosis were derived from consumption of undercooked or inadequately processed, infected pork. Research conducted at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) since 1891, and policies established by USDA regulatory agencies, have helped to reduce Trichinella infections in commercially raised domestic pigs to negligible levels. Here, we review the history of this scientific progress, placing special emphasis on research conducted at the USDA's Beltsville Agricultural Research Center.

美国农业部一个多世纪以来在猪旋毛虫研究方面取得的进展：挑战与解决方案

旋毛虫病由旋毛虫属线虫中的 13 个种/亚种/基因型引起，是一种世界性人畜共患病。在美国，由于欧洲对进口美国猪肉的限制，旋毛虫病具有重要的历史和经济意义。在有效的保护措施出现之前，大多数旋毛虫病病例都是因食用未煮熟或未充分加工的受感染猪肉而引起的。自 1891 年以来，美国农业部（USDA）开展的研究以及美国农业部监管机构制定的政策帮助将商业化饲养的家猪中的旋毛虫感染率降至可忽略不计的水平。在此，我们回顾了这一科学进步的历史，并特别强调了在美国农业部贝尔茨维尔农业研究中心进行的研究。

期刊介绍： Food and Waterborne Parasitology publishes high quality papers containing original research findings, investigative reports, and scientific proceedings on parasites which are transmitted to humans via the consumption of food or water. The relevant parasites include protozoa, nematodes, cestodes and trematodes which are transmitted by food or water and capable of infecting humans. Pertinent food includes products of animal or plant origin which are domestic or wild, and consumed by humans. Animals and plants from both terrestrial and aquatic sources are included, as well as studies related to potable and other types of water which serve to harbor, perpetuate or disseminate food and waterborne parasites. Studies dealing with prevalence, transmission, epidemiology, risk assessment and mitigation, including control measures and test methodologies for parasites in food and water are of particular interest. Evidence of the emergence of such parasites and interactions among domestic animals, wildlife and humans are of interest. The impact of parasites on the health and welfare of humans is viewed as very important and within scope of the journal. Manuscripts with scientifically generated information on associations between food and waterborne parasitic diseases and lifestyle, culture and economies are also welcome. Studies involving animal experiments must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences.
