Projection Trichinoscope
The Trichinoscope is a digital microscope designed for accurate and rapid examination of animal muscle tissue. In this way, it allows for the diagnosis and detection of Trichinella.
This diagnosis is essential because the consumption of infected meat by humans causes the disease trichinosis. In severe cases, it can lead to neurological and cardiological complications.
In short, prior analysis of meat before human consumption is essential, because it prevents the spread of the parasite and infection among consumers.
But, what is trichinosis?
Trichinosis is a type of parasitic infection caused by nematodes. These parasites infect carnivorous and omnivorous animals such as domestic pigs, wild boar, horses or deer.
When humans eat raw or undercooked meat containing trichina cysts, these larvae hatch and mature into adult worms in the intestines. Once mature, they produce new larvae that move through muscle tissues including the heart and diaphragm.
The symptoms and severity of the disease depend on the amount of larvae consumed with the infected meat, but usually include abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, fever and muscle aches.
