Anatomical Pathology

  • Chapter
Trichinella and Trichinosis

Abstract

The anatomical pathology, i.e., the gross and microscopic study of the effects of Trichinella infection on the organs and tissues of the host, is the subject of this chapter. The material presented is limited primarily to those studies that used small laboratory animals and conventional histological techniques. Ultrastructural changes, as detected by various electron-microscopic techniques, are described elsewhere.
