Re-visiting Trichuris trichiura intensity thresholds based on anemia during pregnancy. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 The intensity categories, or thresholds, currently used for Trichuris trichiura (ie. epg intensities of 1-999 (light); 1,000-9,999 epg (moderate), and ≥ 10,000 epg (heavy)) were developed in the 1980s, when there were little epidemiological data ...

Differentiation of Trichuris species using a morphometric approach [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019 Trichuris trichiura is a nematode considered as the whipworm present in humans and primates. The systematics of the genus Trichuris is complex. Morphological studies of Trichuris isolated from primates and humans conclude that the species infecting these

Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of DNA extracted from Trichuris trichiura (Linnaeus, 1771) eggs and its prospective application to paleoparasitological studies [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003 Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis was applied to DNAs extracted from Trichuris trichiura eggs recovered from human fecal samples. Four out of 6 primers tested displayed 18 distinct and well defined polymorphic patterns, ranging from 650 to 3200 ...
