Trichinella is a globally distributed food-borne zoonotic parasite. It is a unique nematode as revealed by its multicellularity with complicated antigenicity and a life cycle occurring in a single host with different developmental stages of intestinal infective larvae, adult worm, newborn larvae, and muscle larvae. It is the biggest intracellular nematode. The proteomes from excretory–secretory products and surface as well as somatic extracts of these different developmental stages display their complexity and significance in the study of parasitism, development, interaction with host cells, immune evasion and survival of the parasite, and the application in diagnosis and vaccine. Technological progress has made great achievements in the study of transcriptomics, genomics, and proteomics of Trichinella in recent decades, which offer exciting prospects for accelerating advances in future study. The present chapter gives an overview and summary on the proteomics of Trichinella. |
