3.11. Trichinella zimbabwensis

Trichinella zimbabwensis is a freeze-susceptible and non-encapsulated species first described by Pozio et al. (2002). Trichinella zimbabwensis is the third non-encapsulated species to be described and like T. papuae it is also able to infect homeotherms and poikilotherms. Genotyped reports of T. zimbabwensis have been limited to South Africa and Zimbabwe in reptiles as well as mammals.
