Peripheral cytokine responses to Trichuris muris reflect those occurring locally at the site of infection [PDF]
The study of human cellular immune responses to parasite infection under field conditions is very complex. Often, the only practical site from which to sample the cellular responses is the peripheral blood.

Trichuris muris research revisited: a journey through time. [PDF]
The mouse whipworm Trichuris muris has long been used as a tractable model of human Trichuriasis. Here we look back at the history of T. muris research; from the definition of the species and determination of its life cycle, through to the complex immune

No Structural Change in Mice Intestinal Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue After Trichuris muris Egg Infestation [PDF]
Introduction: It has been known that  the infestation of Trichuris muris egg in the intestinal mice may induce a host immune ‎response to eliminate the worms.

A drug repurposing screen for whipworms informed by comparative genomics.
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are infected with the whipworm Trichuris trichiura. Novel treatments are urgently needed as current drugs, such as albendazole, have relatively low efficacy.

Efficacy and safety of nitazoxanide, albendazole, and nitazoxanide-albendazole against Trichuris trichiura infection : a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The currently used anthelmintic drugs, in single oral application, have low efficacy against Trichuris trichiura infection, and hence novel anthelmintic drugs are needed.

Evaluation of an FDA approved library against laboratory models of human intestinal nematode infections [PDF]
Treatment options for infections with soil-transmitted helminths (STH) - Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and the two hookworm species, Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus - are limited despite their considerable global health burden ...
