Airas, N., Nareaho, A., Linden, J., Tuomola, K., Sukura, A. (2012). The different infectivity of Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella nativa in rat does not solely localize to enteral or parenteral phase. Parasitology Research, 111(6): 2281-2288. Researchers from the Department of Veterinary Biosciences in Helskinki tested the hypothesis that T. spiralis and T. nativa have different life cycle phases in which selective responses take place in different vectors. The study finds that reproduction processes in the two species may explain the difference in rat defense effects. The study supports the findings of Mirjalali et al. (2014) in their conclusion that Trichinella species may reproduce in hosts that are still yet to be fully understood. The study is helpful in highlighting the need to better understand the reproductive processes of T. spiralis in various vectors.

foxes (Vulpes vulpes) of Germany and Poland: possible different origins. Veterinary Parasitology, 198(1-2): 254-257.

The researchers from the National Veterinary Research Institute in Poland and the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Germany find that the red fox is high risk to public safety because it is a carrier of Trichinella. The finding of the arctic species T. native in 3 foxes, one of which was also infected with T. spiralis, and 1 fox in Poland has caused concern. This finding shows that T. nativa has spread...

The problem posed by this study is how T. native can survive and colonize in temperate zones. The researchers conclude that the raccoon dog may be responsible as a carrier of T. nativa between the two regions.
Jiang, H., Zhao, N., Zhang, Q. Gao, J. et al. (2016). Intestinal microbes influence the survival, reproduction and protein profile of Trichinella spiralis in vitro. International Journal of Parasitology, 46(1): 51-58.

Researchers from the Laboratory of Zoonosis Research in Changchun, China, and the Laboratory Animal Center in Shenyang, China, examined the impact of microbes found in the human intestine and noted that a protective response to T. spiralis is located in metabolic acceleration. Specifically, the researchers found that microbe alterations affected T. spiralis survival rates in vitro. The study concluded that "some gut bacteria are friendly or harmful to humans and in addition they may have similar beneficial or detrimental effects on parasites" (p. 51). This study is helpful because it locates a potential therapy that may be used in the fight against the spread of parasitic infection of T. spiralis and could be used in conjunction with other studies related to the issue of the spread of Trichinella and various vectors in order to test the impact of these bacteria across species.

determinants of the spatial distribution of Trichinella britovi and Trichinella spiralis in Hungary. Veterinary Parasitology, 199(3-4): 426-429.

The researchers from the Department of Infectious, Parasitic and Immunomediated Diseases in Rome, Italy, and the Laboratory of Parasitology in Budapest, Hungary, evaluate the impact of the environment on the spread of T. britovi and T. spiralis in Hungary by sampling 3304 red foxes and 290,000 wild boars (2006-2013). They found that 68 foxes and 44 boars were vectors for T. britovi or T. spiralis. The geographic regions in which these foxes and boars roamed was recorded. Zero correlation between environmental ranges and T. spiralis larvae in foxes/boars was found. However, positive correlation existed between region and T. spiralis counts. The researchers concluded that the across the border transmission from neighboring endemic regions impacted the spread of T. spiralis in Hungary among wildlife. The major environmental factors in the spread of T. britovi in Hungary were average temperature over the year (resulting in the less rapid decomposition of animal corpses) and regions that were not agricultural (resulting in scavenging by foxes). This study is helpful because it highlights the spread of Trichinella in Hungary and locates various vectors and environmental determinants in that spread.
