The omnivorous Tyrolean Iceman: colon contents (meat, cereals, pollen, moss and whipworm) and stable isotope analyses [PDF]
The contents of the colon of the Tyrolean Iceman who lived Ga. 5300 years ago include muscle fibres, cereal remains, a diversity of pollen, and most notably that of the hop hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia) retaining cellular contents, as well as a moss ...

Summary • Twenty‐one intestinal zoonotic parasites out of 28 were detected. • Parasitic burden measured by eggs per gram (EPG) was heavy on the river bank. • Cross‐transmission of intestinal parasites among co‐habiting animals may occur. ABSTRACT Introduction Increasing urbanization has particularly affected rivers and their outer edges in cities ...

A genetic analysis of Trichuris trichiura and Trichuris suis from Ecuador
Background Since the nematodes Trichuris trichiura and T. suis are morphologically indistinguishable, genetic analysis is required to assess epidemiological cross-over between people and pigs.

New evidence for the antiquity of the intestinal parasite Trichuris (whipworm) in Europe
The whipworm, Trichuris trichiura L., is one of the most common human intestinal parasites worldwide, yet little is known of its origin and global spread.

Constructing a Predictive Model for STH and Schistosomiasis Classification From Microscopic Images
Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) and schistosomiasis are widespread parasitic diseases in tropical regions, particularly in Africa, with substantial health and socioeconomic burdens. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical for mitigating these impacts. Conventional microscopy‐based diagnosis was time‐consuming and labor‐intensive, posing challenges

Tackling worms in children: school programmes can work – for eyes too
An estimated 800–900 million children worldwide are affected by intestinal worms. The majority of these lives in Asia and Africa.There are three main types of intestinal worms:roundworms (Ascaris)whipworm (Trichuris)hookworm (two species: N.

Whipworm (\u3ci\u3eTrichuris dipodomys\u3c/i\u3e) infection in kangaroo rats (\u3ci\u3eDipodomys\u3c/i\u3e spp.): effects on digestive efficiency [PDF]
To determine whether infections by whipworms (Trichuris dipodomys [Nematoda: Trichurata: Trichuridae]) might affect digestive efficiency and therefore energy budgets of two species of kangaroo rats (Dipodomys microps and Dipodomys ordii [Rodentia ...

Testing parasite ‘intimacy’: the whipworm Trichuris muris in the European house mouse hybrid zone
Host‐parasite interaction studies across hybrid zones often focus on host genetic variation, treating parasites as homogeneous. ‘Intimately’ associated hosts and parasites might be expected to show similar patterns of genetic structure. In the literature,
