Trichinella papuae is a nematode parasite responsible for a zoonotic disease called trichinellosis, predominantly in Thailand.[1][2] Currently, eight species of Trichinella are known.[3]
T. papuae is a nonencapsulated species, found in domestic and sylvatic swine of Papua New Guinea. This species differs by its larvae lacking a nurse cell in host muscle, and total length being one-third greater than T. pseudospiralis. Adults do not cross with adults from other species, and are unable to infect birds.[1]
This species is known for surviving in carcasses of dead pigs.[4]
