About Trichinella spiralis
The nematode Trichinella spiralis is a roundworm with an unsegmented body that is a parasite of swine. Trichinosis is a disease of swine that can pass to humans by the eating of undercooked pork, digestive juices from the stomach dissolve the capsule-like cyst and release the parasites. The larvae then penetrate into the intestine where they mature and mate.

Genome Assembly & Annotation
Assembly
The T. spiralis genome assembly was produced by the Mitreva group at the Genome Institute of Washington University, as described by Mitreva et al (2011).
Annotation
The gene predictions were made by Mitreva group at the Genome Institute of Washington University, as described by Mitreva et al (2011). The version represented here is consistent with the INSDC records.
