“…This process can directly or indirectly harm muscle cells by encouraging the infiltration of inflammatory cells, particularly eosinophils (Bruschi and Gómez-Morales 2014). In trichinellosis patients, there was a link between eosinophil levels with serum muscle enzymes, implying that these granulocytes may be involved in muscle injury (Bruschi and Dupouy-Camet 2022). Thus, increasing eosinophilia is the most important clinical finding of Trichinellosis muscular phase.…”

Trichinella spiralis, the roundworm that causes trichinellosis, is a major global health issue. The main way that the disease is spread is by eating raw or undercooked meat from infected livestock, and wild boars are increasingly playing a role in spreading epidemics. Numerous symptoms, such as myocardial infarction, stomach discomfort, and neurological involvement, are present with the condition. Trichinella species have a complicated life cycle that includes an enteral phase, and a migratory. Trichinellosis is not as common worldwide, it is still a cause for concern, particularly in less developed nations where eating raw or undercooked meat is common. Trichinella species are distributed differently over the world, with T. spiralis being more common in Europe. phase, and a muscle phase. This causes tissue damage and severe inflammation. Due to the small size of larvae and limits in testing methods, difficulties in recognizing contaminated meat continue even in the absence of recorded cases. Trichinellosis vaccines are being developed using a variety of techniques, including DNA, synthetic peptide, live attenuated, and recombinant protein vaccines. The selection of antigens, adjuvants, and variations in immune responses among animal species present challenges in the production of vaccines. Future work should concentrate on developing genetic engineering tools, and comprehending immune evasion mechanisms.

“…The European Union (EU) requires inspection of horse and pork meat before they can be imported into EU member countries. Despite these limitations, the eating of imported horse meat has resulted in an upsurge of trichinellosis in the EU (Bruschi and Dupouy-Camet 2022).…”

“…Geohelminthiases or STH are the most widespread parasitic diseases in the world, with over 913 million children requiring preventive chemotherapy with benzimidazoles (WHO Global Health Observatory). The incidence of STH is particularly high in tropical and sub-tropical areas where poverty and poor hygiene conditions may favour their persistence (Bruschi, 2023 ). Many parasitic nematode species are co-endemic and mixed infections are frequently observed in a single individual, due to similarities in the transmission routes, environmental and socio-economic conditions and geographical distribution.…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) as a diverse group of primarily infectious diseases, which disproportionately affect poor and marginalized populations worldwide. In this context, NTDs are responsible for important morbidity and mortality and justify a global response. Moreover, NTDs are relatively neglected by research and development as well as by funding, if compared with the magnitude of the public health problem they represent. This happens even though, unlike other infectious diseases, they can be prevented, controlled and eliminated by targeted public health interventions. NTDs are mainly prevalent in communities from low-income countries in tropical and sub-tropical areas but are also present in upper–middle-income countries, including several in Europe. Here, we provide an update on the most relevant parasitic endemic or imported NTDs in Italy and illustrate the rationale for the establishment of the Italian network on NTDs, an alliance of scientific societies, institutes, foundations, universities and non-profit organizations united to fight NTDs.

“…In the present case, the authors stated that due to a positive Trichinella serology and in the absence of other identified causes, these pleural effusions could be of parasite origin. However, the presence of Trichinella antibodies does not necessarily indicate an active infection, as the antibodies can persist in the blood for months or even years after the initial infection has been overcome [ 4 ]. Moreover, no clinical signs of acute trichinellosis (fever, myalgia, or facial edema) were reported.…”
