Abstract

The International Trichinella Reference Centre (ITRC) is the official laboratory of the International Commission on Trichinellosis, of the World Organization for Animal Health and of the European Union Reference Laboratory for Parasites. The ITRC was established in 1988 as a repository of Trichinella strains and a source of reference materials and information for international scientific research. To date, more than 8000 Trichinella isolates collected throughout the world have been identified at the species or genotype level by the ITRC staff and the information has been stored in a freely accessible database providing the largest collection of data available for scientists involved in the systematics and epidemiology of this parasite. This paper presents a summary of the data collected over 33 years of activity and describes the database functionalities. It finally advocates the potential of the database to improve knowledge of the epidemiology and taxonomy of Trichinella, which in turn may help the international surveillance of Trichinella species.

国际旋毛虫参考中心数据库。关于三十三年活动和未来展望的报告

国际旋毛虫参比中心是国际旋毛虫病委员会、世界动物卫生组织和欧洲联盟寄生虫参比实验室的官方实验室。国际旋毛虫研究中心成立于1988年，是旋毛虫菌株储存库和国际科学研究参考材料和信息的来源。迄今为止，ITRC工作人员已在物种或基因型水平上鉴定了世界各地收集的8000多株旋毛虫分离株，并将这些信息存储在一个可免费访问的数据库中，为参与这种寄生虫的系统学和流行病学的科学家提供了最大的数据集。本文概述了33年来收集的数据，并描述了数据库的功能。最后提出了该数据库在提高旋毛虫流行病学和分类知识方面的潜力，这反过来可能有助于旋毛虫物种的国际监测。

期刊介绍： Food and Waterborne Parasitology publishes high quality papers containing original research findings, investigative reports, and scientific proceedings on parasites which are transmitted to humans via the consumption of food or water. The relevant parasites include protozoa, nematodes, cestodes and trematodes which are transmitted by food or water and capable of infecting humans. Pertinent food includes products of animal or plant origin which are domestic or wild, and consumed by humans. Animals and plants from both terrestrial and aquatic sources are included, as well as studies related to potable and other types of water which serve to harbor, perpetuate or disseminate food and waterborne parasites. Studies dealing with prevalence, transmission, epidemiology, risk assessment and mitigation, including control measures and test methodologies for parasites in food and water are of particular interest. Evidence of the emergence of such parasites and interactions among domestic animals, wildlife and humans are of interest. The impact of parasites on the health and welfare of humans is viewed as very important and within scope of the journal. Manuscripts with scientifically generated information on associations between food and waterborne parasitic diseases and lifestyle, culture and economies are also welcome. Studies involving animal experiments must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences.
