Trichuriasis in Human Patients from Côte d’Ivoire Caused by Novel Trichuris incognita Species with Low Sensitivity to Albendazole/Ivermectin Combination Treatment

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Albendazole/ivermectin combination therapy is a promising alternative to benzimidazole monotherapy alone for Trichuris trichiura control. We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to genetically characterize Trichuris spp. populations in patient samples from Côte

Soil‐Transmitted Helminthes (STHs) and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Amongst Preschool Children in the Bosomtwe District of Ghana

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminths (STHs) and urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose major public health challenges, especially in regions with poor healthcare access, inadequate sanitation, and limited clean water supply. When these two conditions recur, they can cause stunted growth in children between 24 and 59 months of age, a vital phase for physical ...

The major secreted protein of the whipworm parasite tethers to matrix and inhibits interleukin-13 function

Nature Communications, 2019
In the study, the authors identify a protein excreted by the parasite Trichuris muris, p43, which can modulate IL-13 function, a key cytokine involved in host protection.

Canine nematode and Giardia spp. infections in dogs in Edmonton, Alberta, the “CANIDA” study

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Canine intestinal parasite prevalence may be influenced by geographical region, age, and health status of the dog. Behaviors such as predation, scavenging, or roaming as well as routine administration of anthelmintics also play a role.

Assessment of Environmental Contamination With Soil‐Transmitted Helminth Eggs From Human and Animal Faeces in Southern Côte d′Ivoire: A Rapid Approach for Identifying High‐Risk Communities

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil‐transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a major public health problem in low‐ and middle‐income regions, including the humid and lagoon areas in Côte d′Ivoire, where sanitation facilities are limited at the community level. Few studies have investigated the relationship between environmental (soil and water) contamination by STH eggs and ...

Polyparasitism and Anaemia Among Women of Reproductive Age in Kilifi County—Kenya

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Polyparasitism is commonly associated with Plasmodium species, Schistosoma species and soil‐transmitted helminths. Anaemia results from a variety of causes, including parasitic infections. Women of reproductive age (WRA) and children below the age of five are disproportionately affected by polyparasitic infections, putting them at risk of ...

Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiomes in Parasitic Roundworms Reveals Phylogeny‐Associated Community Structure and Functional Adaptation

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Roundworm 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 ...
