THE TRICHINJI2 DISEASE.
Its Caa aad History.
W are indbtd to the microscope for our
knowledge ot the minute worm which cause the
diituRt called Trlchimlasii. Many yews aro
several English physicians notioea in lean flNh
mlante yUowih-white granule, which Is tbe
nalvautitioua shell inclosing the worm. Thene,
Hilton, n KifliBh aaaumUt, sapposed to be
animals; bnt the r.ooloptpt Owen was the first
who described and named, the worm itself
Trichina Spiralis, rreelcclv an the yolk and
white of a hen's esr are not visible through the
shell which contain them, so with the Trichina.
It Is frequently from one-third to one-half a line
long, meaMnred whea ite body u uacoilod; but,
from its transparency, it cannot with the
naked eye be recognized nt having the struo
tore of an animal. Thl, however, caa readily
be Been under a lens of f0 or GO diametarR. It
does not belong to the clas of infasoria or ani
malcule, but cntexoa, and is only foand antler
peculiar circumstances. A number of observers
have found this aaimal in the persons of natives
of England, Franoe, Germany, Denmark, and
North Anieriea. The dineHvcs it occasions, and
the deaths owing to its presence in the flesh of
human beinps, have for yenrs engaged the atten
tion of the medical men of (.'sruiany. and have
At eevefal periods alarmed the people of that
onntry. The epidemic of this disease which
recently occurred in Ederikbea is similar to
several epidemics, or groups of cases of the dis
enso, whiuU have orr.urral since the year 1859.
They arise from the penetration into, and lodg
ment in, various parts of the living human body,
particalarly the in uncles, of the yoans; Trichinie.
The history of the investigations of tbe last
ten years of' the life of the aaimal, and charac
teristics of its career, eivcs the accounts of a
number of observers who unnortook to ascertain
both its nataral history and tho consequences of
its becoming an inmate of the human body. In
1KG0, l'rolessor Virchord, of lierlin, condacteda
series of experiments with the Trichinae (con
sisting: of ired'nig the meat which contained
them to certuia animals, under enrol ill observa
tion), by which he acquired all that wa know of
the mode andconseqaences of their iatroduotion
into tbe living body. It was thus ascertained
tbat, the Trichina was not sexless, as the earlier
observers had reported, bnt were ot both sexes,
and gave birth to yonug.
He found that the parent Trichinsu infect tho
pip, lodged in tho lean flesh ot tbat animal; that
they reach the bowels of the living creature hy
having been consumed with the pork, and there
propagate, and tbat tbe brood to which they give
birth penetrate the walls of the intestines, and
thence migrate to other parts of the body. The
infestation of the human body has as yet only
been found to occur from eating the flesh of tho
pig. Bnt the Trichina' have been loand in other
animals usually regarded as etrictly herbivorous,
as moles, etc. Special investigations have, how
ever, proved that these animals consume smaller
animals, as field-mice, groaud-worms, etc., and
hence are flesh-eaters beiu g in this reipect like
rats, mice, etc. Other auiniuls, such as rabbits,
may be infected by feeding them with tbo Trl-chinai-contaialnar
llefh, but nevertheless the
only ttesb man consumes which contains tbe
Trichina, in tbe order of naturo, is that of the
pig.
In the year 18G3 there was a wide-spread fear,
derived lroai the opinion of varion writers,
that the meat of plant-feeding animala may
contain the Tricbinii, and the authorities of
Worse announced tbat beef was not exempt
lrom TrichLnie, but as yet Trichiuio have never
been observed in beef, and even if, as sup
posed, the Trichinie disease was contracted
frooi eating it, if it was obtained lrom the same
butcher who sold Trichimu containing pork, it
mtiBt be ascertained whether the Deet bad not
become inleoted by lying in contact with the
pork. So far ns scientiiio investigation teaches
us, neither in beef nor mutton have Trichinro
been found.
From the fact that snail, round wormB, similar
to Tricbimc, exist in the muscles of the eel and
frog, various authors have supposed them to be
far more general in their disttibation than Vir
chord and Leukhardt nsbort. Tho rain-worm
was asserted by Laugeabnck to contain Trichina?,
and the pig was supposed to become .infested
lrom devouring these; but careful investigation
showed that the microscopic worm which in-
lested the ground-worm was that lone known as
acaris minutLsstma. Aain, Schachte has stated
that some vegetables, uud especially the root
of the sugar-beet, contained Trichina, but
although oxen led upon bad beets have sick
ened and died in numbers, the Trichina have
never been found in their flesh, as belore stated.
we repeat tuat, so lar as ascertained, the pig s
flesh is the only flesh which roan consumes which
contains l'rlchinre. How, then, does tbe pig be
come infested 1 The supposition that they have
their genesis in his body, and are not taken in
his food, is totally iuadmissible. Researches
show that there is every probability that the
nig neither derives tho Trichime from the ani-
aials nor vegetables he devours, but lrom the
lucal matters he consumes. Hence, it is proba
ble that at all times particular individual pigs
have been affected, and that refuse matter from
the bowels of whoever may have consumed his
flesh may have been consumed by other pips.
aad the disease thus spread and involved a large
number of people. Most of the epidemics of
TTrichinaj disease have occurred in Saxony, where
tbe pigs are led in Btyes. It is very probable
that pigs may infect pig's, lor the contents of the
intestines of one which contains pregnant Trl-
cbinre may be eaten when expelled by another
pig. we may consider established, tnerciore,
that, in the common course of afl'alrs, Trichinie
can only be found in the carnivora. For we
have seen that the intestinal Trichina? produce
living young whica migrate into tbe flesh and
then attain their farther development. They
cannot leave the meat in any other way than
after it has been eaten, and that this regular pro
rresBion from the intestine into the muscles, and
lrom tbe muECles into the intestine, is only pos
sible in meat-eaters.
Tbe order of tbe infestation may be heie stated
nnder tnrse cardinal points:
1. The euten Trichimu remain in the intes
tines unless expelled by purgation,! and nevw
enter tbe muscus.
2. They produce living young, which enter
the muscles.
3. Tbe young which have entered the muscles
grow there, but do not multiply.
The chances ot injury to the meat-cater are
in Drorjortion to the number which enter the
intestines; and the danger is in the production
cf young by the intestinal Triachinui.
A Trichina mother has a hundred, of living
young in her body, and, ufUr these young, she
always bears more and more eggs. How long
she lives and produces young is not exactly
known, but at leat tour weeks. It ie, however.
certain that fiic becomes tlxed iu the intes
tine, and continues to produce bow broods of
young. If we calculate that one Triehlua
mother has 200 young, 10,000 such mothers are
surhcitmt to pre duce a million young, and so
many female animals may to csntained in a low
morsels ot meat, even it there Lj no high degree
of inl'estution.
The more Trichinie, therefore, and the longer
thy levnain iu the intestine, the more young
will be produced, and hence the greater tho
danger. This has been exuerimautallv Droved,
A rabbit which ate onlv small warts of meat con
taiuing a few Trichia:u did not become diseased;
and in the epidemic of liurg thi was strikingly
illustrated. A vroman who ute raw meat (pork)
ou breud, uiori. 'ihe ehadlwho licked oil what
remained on the, spoan with which it was spread
was bliuhtlv pick.
A person, therefore, as well as a pig, can hav
Trichina in his body withaut causiag very
serious illness; but it is very certain tbat a large
migration ot animals into tne unman oouv bio
duces disease, and lre.juently death. There
have been cases of once infected persons in
which only a lew dozen could be fouad, alter
the most extended repearcn, wnnt in many
others the flesh ot those who cue oi in is nesn
worm was loand to be literally tilled with them
A person who has but a few will probably have
scarcely any perception of it. A second person,
into whose muscles thousands have penetrated,
will suffer a Variety of disagreeable sensations,
as pains in the muscles, stiif iess, weakness,
heaviness in the limbs, fever, hoarseness, etc
but even he may live through tbe'-e consoquen
tea. The Trichina; having attained their rebting-
place, will become encapsnlra ana inclosed In
tbe calcareous envelope. A third person, into
whose muscles millions might migrate, will ex
perience similar or worst syasptoras will, per
haps, pass the active stare of thexe symptoms,
recover slowly, but ramaia weak, diseased, ana
thin; ot at may not recover, and assy die by
advancing disturbance of all mascular activity,
especially that of respiration.
We have lonua eiicaasnled Trichina, la the
bodies of persons who had dies" of other
diseases, bnt only in particular muscles, ana a
few. A lull-grown, old, muscle Trichina is a
worm similar la shape to a rain-worm. It has
an anterior pointed and, ia which is the month,
from which a uarrow tube (the (esophagus) pro
ceeds. The R'ee-phagus Is tnrronnded by a thick
laver of calls, which stretch through a rreat
rnrtoftbs body, and end ia a fine intestine.
The Intestine runs to the posterior end, where it
terminates in an or! lice. The sexual canal occu
pies a large portion ot the posterior part of the
body. Theta two main parts, the digestive and
sexual, are held by a strong cuticle which shows
fine transverse wrinkles. Tbe older observers
believed tbe Trichina to b sexless, aad hence a
harmless inhabitant of the body of man; but it
is a inlly orgaaized aaimal ef tbe clacs worsts.
It is alto to be remarked that it bears no parties
lar resemblance to any other species f worms,
nd particularly not to tba larviu of flies (mag
gots), which have quite another shape, and are
a great deal larger. And it is important to
observe that the Trichina is the only member of
this class'worra which enters tne living body in
such nambers as to cause alarming illness and
death. Ia instances ot fresh or recent migra
tion, the Trichinn have bten found loose in the
flesh tbat is, without tho chalky or calcareous
capsule. This marks tha middle age of the
animal. Ia older cases the animal becomes
surrounded with the chalky calcareous envelope,
which can be seen as a yellowish white graauie
witn tne naked eye.
What is the danger of the Trichina to the
human body? More than two deceniums have
elapsed since their discovery. Tho first cases of
(iiteass and death by them, of which we hare
proof, occurred in tha year 1815. The snrvivor
himself related the story, and it is one curiously
interesting to the least annons ot readers, it
exemplified also how, even though the infesta
tion may have been so serious as to nearly prova
luiai, and to nave provaa laiai to othars wno
ate of tbe same meat with tbe surviving or cured
case, vet it may end by tha Trichinm becoming
so closely conbaed by an adventitious shell that
they are powerless to do farther injury to the
patient, except what consequence survives in
ebrouic lorm.
This prosess. however, doss not oocur lin less
than three months, and in each instances the
disease is called ''cured." In this case. in the'
summer of 18G3. a person was being operated on
for a tumor of the neck by a German surgeon.
During the operation tha bared muscles were ob
served to be abundantly supplied with the char
acteristic shells or cysts of Trichinie. The pa
tient related, in reply to a question whether he
had ever been very sick, that in tha year 1815,
with the other tlx members of a commission for
the inspection of schools, he ate a meal of ham,
sausage, cheese, etc., at an inn. All who ate ot
these provicions soon after fell sick and died,
except the relator himself. Suspicion fell upon
the innkieper. A judicial investigation was
held, but without result precisely as it would
be now if we had not that knowledge of tho
Trichina) we possets. And in this case the sur
vivor might nave gone to his death and yet
nothing have ever been known, in his particular
case, of the infectation by Trichinie, which had
proved fatal to his six associates, had it not been
lor tha knowledge science had tarnished many
years after that fatal meat was eaten, birauar
instances of our coming, many years after, to an
understanding ot the causes of ueatn or use
character, and which otherwise were with more
or less confidence attributed to suppositions
causes, might be cited, but another will satlice.
in jane, ib:i, m the neighborhood ot Ham
burg, several well persons, having eaten ham,
tell sick. Three oi them died, and others were
long in a critical state. A judicial investigation
was held without satisfaction. 11 am noisoaine
was supposed; but lcng afterwards it was shown
that the symptoms ana other circumstances per
taining to the sickness and death of these people
were precisely similar with those subsequently
ascertained to be xricniniu lniestauon.
We Ctime now to the occurrence of enidemics
of this disease. Zencker first observed snch an
epidemic iu and near Dresden, and showed tha
Trichina? fonnd m the ham and sausage made
from one particular pig. This pig had been
butchered on a farm near Dresden. The butcher
and owner of the farm, and other people, had
fallen sick, and a previously Dtrtectlv healthy
servant girl had died. In her body an aoan-
dance oi Trichina? were lound. With the nud
ing of the Trichina? in the muscles of her body,
Virchord commenced a series of experimental
observations . These may bo briouy btatcd. A
rabbit fed with Trichina-flesh from this girl
died in a month, and its flesh was found full of
tbtm. .
Some of this flesh was given to a second rb-
bit, which also died in a month. With this meat
three other rabbits were fed. Two of these died
at the end of three weeks, and .the third in tbe
tourta wees. L,aitiy, the tiesn ot tuese animal
dead ot Tiichiiiu was fed to another rabbit. It
nto but very little, but died at the end of six
wveks. In all ol thei'e the muscles after death
were found tilled with Trichinie, and even in the
smallest particle of the meat several were lound;
It is to be observed that Trichinie had never
been found In these animals unless they had
been previously fed with the Tiichinie-contain-
wg meat, ineir living nesn was examined
before they were led, and no Trichina? were
found in them; yet a few weeks after they were
fed with the meat, the muscles of the same ani
mals were found tiled with Trichina?.
Though these exneriments through nve gone-
rations of animalH, all resulting in death, were
perfectly conclusive, the chance of auy donbt
arising as to the fact that the migration really
proceeded from the feeding of the animals with
Trichinie, It was fotther demonstrated that the
Trichina? iu the ted meat became free in the
stomach and intestines of the rabbit; that they
btcame individuals of both sexes, which in a
short time attained a length of from three to
tour millimetrck, and could be discerned as fine
white threads; thai ova are produced in the
female, and from these embryos even in the body
of the mother; and that about a week later the3
are born and move about freely in tbe mucus ot
the intettine. Tha young are exceedingly
minute. They are the very smallest of the claw
thread-worms. It is the yonng which peaetraie
the body. They have been found in the lymph-
atio glands, iu tee peritoneal cavity, ana in tne
pericardium and muscles. It is in the latter
they find tbe suitable conditions for their de
velopment. ! .
ia tne mtjtnci or MaagcDurg tne cases oi iuib
disease spread over a period of four years. Since
the year 1850 a whole series of epidemic of this
disease have been observed. They oecurred at
I'lauen, Calbo on Balle, Quedlenburg, Burg, n ar
Maiigeourg; tveimar, ana netdstadt, near lusia
bier; and other places.
If we come to inquire why it is that these
epidemics have not occurred in other countries,
8V in (ierman v, we learn tbat it is because the
f.esh ol ifce pig is so much more largely used as
food in Germany than elsewhere. This animal
is slaughtered in immense numbers. In liorliu
the yearly consumption is 100,000. Tat? re exist
in Germany, moreover, a habit of eating bus of
uncooked lean pig's netin, and in some ol tho
epidemics, as well as in tingle cases, where
butchers were infected, it was ascertained tbat
they ate not merely of the sausages, but that
most oi tne m were in tne uaou oi cauug a uitio
of the uncooked meat at the time ot cutting it,
i s ell as tuat winch auneres to the kuiie m
cut tiller.
Again, the only security aj;aln:it infestation if
pork is eaten, is eituer to nun uy n cureiiu
examination with the microscope that the flesh
is free i?om Trichina, or thai the flesh has been
thoiougbly cooked by heat. The investleatious
which have been made on this point disuloie
thnt the meat is almost never cooked sutHciently
to kill the Trichina). If we wifrb to avoid infesta
tion we mnat never eat ra'O work: for iu liurg a
great number of cae ot disease and death wuie
occasioned bv neonlo eating raw meat on bread
for breakfast. In boiling, roasting, frying, or
smoking, more or less of the meat may remain
nearly raw. The greatest danger 1 from bam
and if used it saenld be thoroughly boiled. It U
certain that a Trichina exposed to tha belling
point invariably ies. But it is equally certain
that fienuentlv this temperature Is not reached
in boiling or roasting, or, If it i, act the whole
ot the meat is exposed to it. This is certainly
the case when large pieces aro boded or roastd,
and even cut la sllees, not unfrcqneatly the
inner parts are hall or whally raw. The parts
sro.yat, when exposed, found to be saft and red-
disn. mere can re no eouot tuat in sucn cases
the inner part of the meat has not hscn reached
by a killing temperature. Hence, it is obvious
tbat by aruti bailing, roastlag, or frying, the
danger Is not prevented.
The experiments ot Kuchenmeister to deter
nine the relations of animal heat to lite showed
that large pieces of meat which had been put in
a kettle, after a belling of half an hour, had
enly reached a temperature of 48 degrees Kea
mur. Aitcrwares it attained a temperature of
62 degrees to G4 degrees outwardly. After being
cut up and put te boil, they attained a tempera
ture of 69 degrees to GO decrees. Roast pork
which was Inside bleoey, had 62 degrees Ilea
mur, bat it will often happen that the tempera
ture of tbe meat and sausage, when cooked, re
mains several degrees bslow tbe-je nambers.
From this record is cvidcat that the common
boiling or frying ot sausages, as well as the
cooking of chops aad roastsd pork, scarcely
reaches the temperature which will kill Tri
china. Ihe experiments or Knrhenmeister,
Heubner, and Liscring, upon the conditions
under which various kinds oi food from pig's
tit uli is prepared, as'.affccting the life of Trichinn?,
tbow!
1. Tbat Trichinro are killed by longer Immer
sion in the brine ot tho meat, and by 21 hours'
hot smoking of sausages.
Z. They are not killed by three cays com
smoking, and the boiling of meat for makiag
sausages docs not certainly kill them.
3. A long keeping or cold smoked sausage
serves to destroy the life of the Trichina.
If a piece ot flesh containing the Trichinie be
carefully examined by the iffcked eye, the ovoid
opaqae shell inclosing the animal can bo barely
seen ns a vellowish white granule. If the shell
be careinily separated from the flesh in which it
is imbedded, placed upon a slip of glas, and a
drop of hydrochloric acid be added, the shell will
slowly dissolve and the animal become plain
under a microscoue of 60 or GO diameters. In
investigating bam we should take a slice of meat
an inch long and half an inch in breadth, for in
ibis way can we exclude the chance of cutting
between the Trichina:. The cut should be made
in the direction of the fibres, and not sidewise
nor crosswise, so that the observer is able to
look over a larcre extent of tbe fibre. Finally.
we should lay the meat very straight on the
slide, because otherwise single bores might ap
pear contorted, and be taken by the inexoerl as
a Trichina or round worm. The investigation of
sauFage is dubious, for it is not possible to say it
it is made lrom meat oi one ana tne same ani
mal, and in the upper part of the sausage is not
the same as in the linden
The history of this disease, and of the animal
which produces it, is a curious but satisfying ex
amide of the progress and success of scientific
investigation in ferreting out tbe cause of disease
and death, and w e are indebted to the nse of the
microscope and to the eminent scientibc men
wo have named in Germany.
In this country, where German habits are
being largely introduced, it becomes a mat ter of
great importance to spread a knowledge of the
curious tacts both ot tbe natural history of this
flesh-worm, the mode of its intrednotioji iuto the
body of man, and the disease and death it causes.
