Gastrointestinal Parasites in Humans and Rhesus Macaques: A Cross-Sectional Study in Bhaktapur, Nepal. [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background and Aims Gastrointestinal parasitism in wild animals at the human‐wildlife interface may be a warning concern both for wildlife health and human health. The current study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in humans and rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) in the Nilbarahi area, an area with ...

Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low‐abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of their host as adults and are excreted as eggs and larvae in faeces, complicating our understanding of their biology and the use of genetic tools ...

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.

The Mannose Receptor in Regulation of Helminth-Mediated Host Immunity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Infection with parasitic helminths affects humanity and animal welfare. Parasitic helminths have the capacity to modulate host immune responses to promote their survival in infected hosts, often for a long time leading to chronic infections.

Trichuris spp. in Animals, with Specific Reference to Neo-Tropical Rodents
Veterinary Sciences, 2021 Trichuriasis is the clinical disease of animals infected with the parasite of the genus Trichuris. This review attempts to present information on Trichuris spp. infestation in neo-tropical rodents that are utilized for meat consumption by humans.

Hidden population structure and cross-species transmission of whipworms (Trichuris sp.) in humans and non-human primates in Uganda. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Whipworms (Trichuris sp.) are a globally distributed genus of parasitic helminths that infect a diversity of mammalian hosts. Molecular methods have successfully resolved porcine whipworm, Trichuris suis, from primate whipworm, T. trichiura.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Trichuristrichiura from Macaca sylvanus and Papio papio
Life, 2021 Trichuriasis is among the most prevalent worldwide parasitism caused by helminths. For many years, Trichuris spp. have been described with a relatively narrow range of both morphological and biometrical features.
