Early Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella nativa infections induce similar gene expression profiles in rat jejunal mucosa

- T. spiralis and T. nativa cause analogous gene expression in the rat jejunum.
- Seven pathways were significantly associated to Trichinella infection.
- Altogether, 551 genes were over- and 427 underexpressed in Trichinella-infected rats.
- Histopathology revealed tissue damage and gene expression indicated the response to this.
