Q

T.spiralis phase: Larval encystation
 In 3 -4 days after larval invasion, the muscle fibers will become
edematous, spinle shape, lose their cross striations because
the Trichinallis spiralis larva will already lodged itself into the
muscle fibers.

just has a specific life cycle once it enters the human body, it
will undergo its life cycle and during this phase the parasite
will die.
