Trichuris WAP and CAP proteins: Potential whipworm vaccine candidates?
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022 Trichuris trichiura and T. suis are gastrointestinal dwelling roundworms that infect humans and pigs, respectively. Heavy infections cause gastrointestinal symptoms and impaired growth and development.

Anthelmintic Activity of Yeast Particle-Encapsulated Terpenes
Molecules, 2020 Soil-transmitted nematodes (STN) infect 1–2 billion of the poorest people worldwide. Only benzimidazoles are currently used in mass drug administration, with many instances of reduced activity. Terpenes are a class of compounds with anthelmintic activity.

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiomes in Parasitic Roundworms Reveals Phylogeny-Associated Community Structure and Functional Adaptation. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisRoundworm nematodes are globally distributed zoonotic parasites that inhabit the intestinal tract of various mammals. Although these parasites reside in the host’s guts, their own intestinal ecosystems remain poorly understood. Recent evidence suggests that helminths may harbor distinct gut microbiomes that contribute to their physiology and host ...

Experimental infection of pigs with three dose levels of Trichuris suis
Parasite, 2000 The objective of the study was to follow the course of Trichuris suisinfection in pigs given infective eggs at low (400 eggs), medium (4,000 eggs) and high inoculation dose (40,000 eggs), respectively. Interestingly, despite a 100-fold difference in dose

Lessons from studying roundworm and whipworm in the mouse: common themes and unique features
Parasitology, 2021 Abstract Ascaris lumbricoides, the roundworm, and Trichuris trichiura, the whipworm, are human intestinal nematode parasites; both are soil-transmitted helminths, are often placed together in an epidemiological context and both remain neglected despite ...

Host age influence on the intensity of experimental Trichuris suis infection in pigs
Parasite, 2002 The impact of age-related resistance on the regulation of population dynamics of adult Trichuris suis was investigated in an experimental pig model. Helminth-naive pigs varying in age from five weeks to four years were infected with T.

Whipworms in humans and pigs: origins and demography [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Trichuris suis و T. trichiura هما نوعان مختلفان من الدودة السوطية التي تصيب الخنازير والبشر، على التوالي. تم العثور على T. suis في الخنازير في جميع أنحاء العالم في حين أن T. trichiura مسؤولة عن ما يقرب من 460 مليون إصابة في البشر، وخاصة في المناطق ذات الصرف الصحي السيئ في المناطق الاستوائية وشبه الاستوائية.
