The classical agent that causes trichinosis is ''[[Trichinella spiralis|T. spiralis]]'' (found worldwide in many carnivorous and omnivorous animals), but there are several other species of [[Trichinella]] now recognized, including ''T. pseudospiralis'' (mammals and birds worldwide), ''T. nativa'' (Arctic bears), ''T. nelsoni'' (African predators and scavengers), ''T. britovi'' (carnivores of Europe and western Asia), and ''T. papuae'' (wild and domestic pigs, Papua New Guinea and Thailand).<ref>Trichinosis.

Overview
Common cause of trichinosis include Trichinella spiralis. Less common causes of trichinosis include T. britovi, T. nativa, T. pseudospiralis, T. papuae, T. nelsoni, T. murrelli, and T. zimbabwensis.[1]
Causes
The classical agent that causes trichinosis is T. spiralis (found worldwide in many carnivorous and omnivorous animals), but there are several other species of Trichinella now recognized, including T. pseudospiralis (mammals and birds worldwide), T. nativa (Arctic bears), T. nelsoni (African predators and scavengers), T. britovi (carnivores of Europe and western Asia), and T. papuae (wild and domestic pigs, Papua New Guinea and Thailand).Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title
Species and characteristics:
| Disease | Main Source | Geographical Distribution |
|---|---|---|
| T. spiralis | Swine | Cosmopolitan |
| T. britovi | Wild boar, domesticated pigs | Europe, Asia, northern and western Africa |
| T. nativa | Polar bears, Artic foxes, walruses | Arctic, subarctic regions |
| T. papuae | Wild pigs, saltwater crocodiles | Papua New Guinea, Thailand |
| T. nelsoni | Warthogs, bush pigs | Eastern Africa |
| T. murrelli | Black bear | North America |
