Soil-transmitted helminth infections [PDF]
, 2018 More than a quarter of the world's population is at risk of infection with the soil-transmitted helminths Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus), Trichuris trichiura, and Strongyloides stercoralis. Infected children

How many species of whipworms do we share? Whipworms from man and other primates form two phylogenetic lineages [PDF]
, 2015 The whipworms, i.e. parasitic nematodes of the genus Trichuris Roederer, 1761, infect a variety of mammals. Apparently low diversity of primate-infecting species of Trichuris strongly contrasts with the high number of species described in other ...

Hidden population structure and cross-species transmission of whipworms (Trichuris sp.) in humans and non-human primates in Uganda. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Whipworms (Trichuris sp.) are a globally distributed genus of parasitic helminths that infect a diversity of mammalian hosts. Molecular methods have successfully resolved porcine whipworm, Trichuris suis, from primate whipworm, T. trichiura.

Comparison of four DNA extraction and three preservation protocols for the molecular detection and quantification of soil-transmitted helminths in stool [PDF]
, 2019 Background : A DNA extraction and preservation protocol that yields sufficient and qualitative DNA is pivotal for the success of any nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), but it still poses a challenge for soil-transmitted helminths (STHs), including ...

Infección severa por trichuris trichiura
Revista médica (Colegio de Médicos y Cirujanos de Guatemala), 2021 Trichuris trichiura is a nematode of the order Trichurida, responsible for the parasitosis known as trichuriasis. It is the third most common intestinal soil-transmitted helminth in humans. The infection is usually asymptomatic. We present case of
