Whipworm infection remodels the gut microbiome ecosystem and compromises intestinal homeostasis in elderly patients revealed by multi-omics analyses [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyIntroductionWhipworm (Trichuris trichiura) coexists with symbiotic microbiota in the gastrointestinal ecosystem. There is a paucity of data on the association between whipworm infection and the gut microbiota composition in elderly individuals.

Transcriptional responses of mouse proximal colon and colonoids during early whipworm infection [PDF]
MBioTrichuriasis, caused by the parasitic nematode Trichuris trichiura, affects 429–508 million people worldwide. Although the early phase of whipworm infection is crucial for establishing infection, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Does Whipworm Increase the Pathogenicity of Campylobacter jejuni? A Clinical Correlate of an Experimental Observation [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2004 Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of acute diarrhea worldwide, usually mild and self-limiting. No adequate hypothesis has yet been formulated to explain why in an otherwise healthy host this infection is occasionally severe.

Infection with male and female Trichuris trichiura diagnosed in a non‐endemic area [PDF]
Clinical Case Reports, 2023 Key Clinical Message Trichuris trichiura parasitizes only humans through fecal‐oral transmission. In non‐endemic areas, the frequency of endoscopic identification has been increasing due to the increasing number of immigrants from endemic countries.

Sedimentary ancient DNA as part of a multimethod paleoparasitology approach reveals temporal trends in human parasitic burden in the Roman period. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesThe detection of parasite infections in past populations has classically relied on microscopic analysis of sediment samples and coprolites. In recent years, additional methods have been integrated into paleoparasitology such as enzyme-linked ...
