Mitogenomics and Evolutionary History of Rodent Whipworms (Trichuris spp.) Originating from Three Biogeographic Regions [PDF]
Life, 2021 Trichuris spp. is a widespread nematode which parasitizes a wide range of mammalian hosts including rodents, the most diverse mammalian order. However, genetic data on rodent whipworms are still scarce, with only one published whole genome (Trichuris ...

Clubbing and whipworm infestation. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1978 The association of clubbing, growth retardation, pallor, abdominal distension, and prolonged bloody diarrhoea with whipworm (Trichuris trichiura) infestation is described and discussed. Failure to recognise this association leads to misdiagnosis and unnecessary investigation.

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 ...

Does Whipworm Increase the Pathogenicity of Campylobacter jejuni? A Clinical Correlate of an Experimental Observation [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 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.

Widespread Trichuris incognita reveals hidden diversity and reshapes understanding of human whipworm infections [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSoil-transmitted helminthiases, particularly trichuriasis, affect over 500 million people, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. Traditional diagnostics fail to distinguish between Trichuris species, obscuring transmission patterns and treatment ...

Whipworm and roundworm infections [PDF]
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2020 Trichuriasis and ascariasis are neglected tropical diseases caused by the gastrointestinal dwelling nematodes Trichuris trichiura (a whipworm) and Ascaris lumbricoides (a roundworm), respectively. Both parasites are staggeringly prevalent, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas, and are associated with substantial morbidity.
