Mitochondrial Genome Analyses Suggest Multiple Trichuris Species in Humans, Baboons, and Pigs from Different Geographical Regions [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 BACKGROUND:The whipworms Trichuris trichiura and Trichuris suis are two parasitic nematodes of humans and pigs, respectively. Although whipworms in human and non-human primates historically have been referred to as T.

Phylogenetic Evidence That Two Distinct Trichuris Genotypes Infect both Humans and Non-Human Primates [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Although there has been extensive debate about whether Trichuris suis and Trichuris trichiura are separate species, only one species of the whipworm T. trichiura has been considered to infect humans and non-human primates.

Spatial modeling of soil-transmitted helminthiases in Colombia under climate change scenarios [PDF]
Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de SaludIntroduction. Soil-transmitted helminthiases remain a significant public health burden in Colombia, especially in rural and tropical areas. Climate change is expected to alter environmental conditions that favor the survival and transmission of Ascaris ...

Widespread Trichuris incognita reveals hidden diversity and reshapes understanding of human whipworm infections [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSoil-transmitted helminthiases, particularly trichuriasis, affect over 500 million people, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. Traditional diagnostics fail to distinguish between Trichuris species, obscuring transmission patterns and treatment ...

A genetic analysis of Trichuris trichiura and Trichuris suis from Ecuador [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Since the nematodes Trichuris trichiura and T. suis are morphologically indistinguishable, genetic analysis is required to assess epidemiological cross-over between people and pigs.

Bacteria-induced egg hatching differs for Trichuris muris and Trichuris suis [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Eggs of the porcine whipworm Trichuris suis are currently explored in human clinical trials as a treatment of immune-mediated diseases. In this context, only the infective, embryonated eggs, constitute the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)

Clear Genetic Distinctiveness between Human- and Pig-Derived Trichuris Based on Analyses of Mitochondrial Datasets [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 The whipworm, Trichuris trichiura, causes trichuriasis in ∼600 million people worldwide, mainly in developing countries. Whipworms also infect other animal hosts, including pigs (T. suis), dogs (T.

Tackling Worm Infestations with a Multifactorial Approach in the 21st century: An Indian Perspective [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2020 Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) or geohelminths are an important cause of morbidity worldwide. A large proportion of the infection burden occurs in India, including STH infections due to roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworms (Trichuris trichura)
