Trichuris suis therapy in Crohn's disease. [PDF]

Gut, 2005
Background: Crohn’s disease is common in highly industrialised Western countries where helminths are rare and uncommon in less developed areas of the world where most people carry worms. Helminths diminish immune responsiveness in naturally colonised humans and reduce inflammation in experimental colitis.

Molecular Identification of Trichuris suis and Trichuris trichiura Eggs in Human Populations from Thailand, Lao PDR, and Myanmar. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2018
Trichuris trichiura is a soil-transmitted helminth infecting human populations globally. Human cases caused by Trichuris suis and Trichuris vulpis have also been reported. Molecular identifications of Trichuris species infecting human populations in Lao PDR and Myanmar are lacking. Here, we explored molecular data obtained from Trichuris eggs recovered

The whipworm (Trichuris suis) secretes prostaglandin E2 to suppress proinflammatory properties in human dendritic cells.

FASEB J, 2017
Clinical trials have shown that administration of the nematode Trichuris suis can be beneficial in treating various immune disorders. To provide insight into themechanisms by which this wormsuppresses inflammatory responses, an active component was ...

Trichuris suis spiked stool experiment.

, 2021
Healthy stool was spiked with Trichuris suis eggs ranging from 0 to 640 EPG of stool and divided equally into four groups (two replicates per kit). DNA was extracted using either the Bioline fecal kit (per our protocol) or the Qiagen Powerfecal Kit ...
