Parasite population dynamics in pigs infected with Trichuris suis and Oesophagostomum dentatum
Veterinary Parasitology, 2014 The aim of the present study was to investigate the population dynamics and potential interactions between Trichuris suis and Oesophagostomum dentatum in experimentally co-infected pigs, by quantification of parasite parameters such as egg excretion, worm recovery and worm location. Forty-eight helminth naïve pigs were allocated into four groups. Group

Trichuris suis ova in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases [PDF]
, 2015 Zürich, 2015 SUMMARY Helminth parasites may be regarded as intestinal symbionts that co-evolved with the immune system and are thereby essential for its proper maturation and functioning. According to the helminth therapy concept, the modulation that helminths exert on the immune system can counteract the dysregulation that occurs in different organic ...

Trichuris suis ova therapy in inflammatory bowel disease: A meta-analysis. [PDF]
Medicine (Baltimore), 2018 In recent years, Trichuris suis ova (TSO) therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has attracted much attention. However, efficacy and safety of TSO therapy are still not well described. The aim of the study was to perform a meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of TSO therapy in IBD.PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, and ...

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.

The Use of MALDI-TOF MS as a Diagnostic Tool for Adult Trichuris Species
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Trichuriasis is considered a neglected tropical disease, being the second most common helminthiasis in humans. Detection of Trichuris in routine diagnosis is usually done by microscopic detection of eggs in fecal samples.

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.
