Trichinella papuae is a nematode parasite responsible for a zoonotic disease called trichinellosis, predominantly in Thailand.

[3] T. papuae is a nonencapsulated species, found in domestic and sylvatic swine of Papua New Guinea.

This species differs by its larvae lacking a nurse cell in host muscle, and total length being one-third greater than T. pseudospiralis.

[1] This species is known for surviving in carcasses of dead pigs.
