LM of Trichina larvae encysted in muscle tissue
Light micrograph of Trichina spiralis (formerly called Trichinella spiralis) larvae encysted in human muscle tissue. Each cyst (blue) contains a single tightly-coiled larva which is seen section- ed at several points (purple sausage shapes). T. spiralis is a species of roundworm parasitic on carnivores & the cause of trichinosis in humans. It may be found in pigs, foxes, dogs, cats, badgers & rats. Humans contract trichinosis through eating poorly-cooked pork infected with larval cysts. The worms mature in the intestine & release a new generation of larvae which burrow through the intestinal wall & migrate towards the muscles. Magnification: x200 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of Trichina larvae encysted in muscle tissue. The light micrograph reveals the mesmerizing details of Trichinella spiralis, formerly known as Trichina spiralis, larvae nestled within human muscle tissue. Each cyst, depicted in a striking blue hue, cradles a single tightly-coiled larva that can be observed sectioned at various points resembling purple sausage shapes. Trichinosis, caused by T. spiralis, is an affliction found in humans who consume undercooked pork contaminated with larval cysts. This species of roundworm primarily preys on carnivores like pigs, foxes, dogs, cats, badgers and rats. Once ingested by humans through infected meat consumption, these worms mature within the intestine and release a new generation of larvae. The magnification level for this image is x200 at 35mm size – allowing us to marvel at the intricacies hidden within nature's creations. It serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between wildlife and parasites that coexist in our ecosystem. Science Photo Library provides us with yet another awe-inspiring glimpse into the realm of zoology and invertebrates. This photograph not only educates us about trichinosis but also highlights the importance of proper cooking techniques to ensure our well-being when indulging in carnivorous delicacies. Let this image serve as a testament to both nature's beauty and its potential dangers lurking beneath its
