I have cured the Empress of Boolampoo of a Cramp she got in her
tongue by eating Pork and buttered parsnips .... The Earl of
Rochester-17th Century As the modern outpouring of biological
information continues at ever increasing pace, two kinds of reviews
are needed to keep the torrent in manageable form. The one assumes
a working knowledge of the field in question and tries to bring the
reader up to date by reporting and assessing the recent
developments. The other attempts to assimilate the recent
developments into a coherent restatement of the whole subject. This
book falls in the latter category. Trichinella spiralis infection
has been in the medical and biological limelight for more than a
century, and interest in it continues una bated-as evidenced by
what Norman Stoll called the "perennially exuberant" research on
trichinosis. The infection seems to offer some thing for almost
everyone. For the physician, it offers a patient with painful and
sometimes fatal disease; for the public-health official, a threat
to the commonweal; for the experimental biologist, a life cycle
that is unique yet easily and rapidly maintained in the laboratory;
for the field ecologist, a symbiont with an affinity for an
extraordinary range of wildlife species; for the pork producer, a
poorer profit; for the cook, a culinary constraint; and for the
diner, a dietary danger. Yet, despite this breadth of interest, and
the cascade of new data, the only comprehensive books on the
subject in English are those of S.E."
