Studies on the Incidence of Trichiniasis in Mississippi1

Preliminary Report

T. J. Brooks, Jr.2, J. W. Ward AND T. M. Holder

(1) Diaphragms obtained from fifty negro cadavers in the Department of Anatomy at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine have been examined by the digestion and compression techniques for the presence of the larvae of Trichinella spiralis.
(2) Three of the fifty diaphragms examined, or 6 per cent, were found to harbor the parasite.
(3) Difficulties encountered in establishing both clinical and post-mortem diagnoses are commented upon.
(4) It is anticipated that this series will be enlarged as more specimens become available from time to time.
