Trichinella spiralis, is an intracellular “pork roundworm” responsible for

trichinellosis, a muscle infection caught
from eating raw or undercooked pork, or
pork products such as smoked sausages.
Other sources include game such as wild
boar, and even walrus. Infected meat is
contaminated with cysts, invisible to the
eye, that contain a small larvae. When the
meat is digested, these grow into adult
worms that mate and produce thousands
of new larvae, which travel out into the
muscle tissues where they encyst,
awaiting the current host to be eaten.

Entamoeba histolytica- Another

protozoan parasite that infects the
digestive tract causes amoebic
dysentery. The disease is characterised
by bloody diarrhoea and abdominal pain
that can become life threatening. More
severe problems can occur if the parasite
starts spreading from the intestine out
into the body, causing abscesses in the
liver and other organs.

Good luck!!!
