3.10. Trichinella papuae

Trichinella papuae was first described in wild pigs ( S. scrofa ) from Papua New Guinea ( Pozio et al., 1999b); it was the second non-encapsulated species to be described. Trichinella papuae is a freeze-susceptible species that can infect mammals and reptiles, which at the time was a first within the genus that a species was able to infect homeotherms and poikilotherms ( Pozio et al., 2004b). To date, T. papuae has only been found in Australia and Papua New Guinea in wild pigs and saltwater crocodiles ( Crocodylus porosus ) ( Table 29).
