Nuclear and Mitochondrial Data on Trichuris from Macaca fuscata Support Evidence of Host Specificity

Life, 2020
Whipworms are parasitic intestinal nematodes infecting mammals, and traditionally humans and other primates that have so far been considered infected by Trichuris trichiura.

Synthesis and Antiparasitic Activities of New Organometallic Derivatives of the Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Drugs

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Organometallic derivatization of existing drugs is a common strategy to look for new drug candidates. This work describes the derivatization of the benzimidazole anthelmintic scaffold, from the synthesis of the organometallic derivatives to the evaluation of their biological properties. It highlights a broad range of antiparasitic activities and leaves

A Dog with Pseudo-Addison Disease Associated with Trichuris vulpis Infection

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2011
A female Rottweiler dog was presented with a history of intermittent vomiting and diarrhoea, dysorexia, weakness, and weight loss. Haemocytometry and biochemistry values were within normal ranges except for electrolyte analyses, that demonstrated ...

Caecal Epithelium‐Derived Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin is not Required for Protective Immunity Against Whipworm

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 7, July 2026.
Immunity to Trichuris muris infection is unimpacted by epithelial knockout of TSLP expression. Imaging of transcription in the caecum reveals Tslp transcription throughout infection in EpCAM‐, Foxl1‐, Ccl24‐ lamina propria‐resident cells, contributing during the expulsion phase of infection. ABSTRACT Recent research examining classical type two alarmin

Environmental contamination by canine geohelminths

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Intestinal nematodes affecting dogs, i.e. roundworms, hookworms and whipworms, have a relevant health-risk impact for animals and, for most of them, for human beings.

Intestinal Parasites in a Rural Highland Tourist Community of Nepal: Diversity, Prevalence, and Associated Factors in Humans and Livestock

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
This cross‑sectional observational study assessed the prevalence and diversity of intestinal parasitic infections in humans and livestock in a rural highland community of Nepal. Intestinal parasites were detected in 22% of human participants and 73% of livestock, with overlapping parasite genera observed within the same households.

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.

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Prevention of soil-transmitted helminth infection

Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2011
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) form one of the most important groups of infectious agents and are the cause of serious global health problems. The most important STHs are roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworms (Trichuris trichiura) and hookworms
