Sažetak
Inoculation of swine with a sylvatic isolate of Trichinella spiralis, designated T.s. nativa, resulted in low numbers of muscle larvae, compared with muscle larvae accumulation in swine inoculated with a pig type of T.s. spiralis. Despite low infectivity of T.s. nativa for swine, primary inoculation resulted in high levels of immunity against challenge infection with T.s. spiralis. This immunity was expressed in accelerated expulsion of challenge adults from the intestine and reduced numbers of muscle larvae. Pigs inoculated with T.s. nativa developed cellular and humoral responses similar to those in pigs inoculated with T.s. spiralis. However, in immunoblots, sera from pigs inoculated with t.s. nativa recognized additional proteins in muscle larvae excretory.secretory (ES) products, compared with sera from pigs inoculated with T.s. spiralis. Active immunization of pigs with ES products from T.s. nativa resulted in numerically higher, but not significantly different levels of immunity, compared with pigs immunized with ES from T.s spiralis. The highest levels of immunity were obtained in pigs immunized with a T.s. spiralis newborn larval extract. The combination of ES products and newborn larval extract did not result in additive levels of immunity. These results indicate that the major immune effector response to Trichinella sp in pigs is against the newborn larvae, regardless of the genetic type of Trichinella sp.
