Bacteria-induced egg hatching differs for Trichuris muris and Trichuris suis [PDF]
, 2015 Eggs of the porcine whipworm Trichuris suis are currently explored in human clinical trials as a treatment of immune-mediated diseases. In this context, only the infective, embryonated eggs, constitute the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API).
