Characterization of Trichuris muris secreted proteins and extracellular vesicles provides new insights into host–parasite communication

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2018
Whipworms are parasitic nematodes that live in the gut of more than 500 million people worldwide. Owing to the difficulty in obtaining parasite material, the mouse whipworm Trichuris muris has been extensively used as a model to study human whipworm ...

Whipworm genome and dual-species transcriptome analyses provide molecular insights into an intimate host-parasite interaction [PDF]

, 2014
Whipworms are common soil-transmitted helminths that cause debilitating chronic infections in man. These nematodes are only distantly related to Caenorhabditis elegans and have evolved to occupy an unusual niche, tunneling through epithelial cells of the

Evaluation of Lab-on-a-Disc Technique Performance for Soil-Transmitted Helminth Diagnosis in Animals in Tanzania

Veterinary Sciences
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are caused by roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and thread worms. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment, prevention, and control of these infections.

Genetic heterogeneity and phylogeny of Trichuris spp. from captive non-human primates based on ribosomal DNA sequence data [PDF]

, 2015
Nematodes of the genus Trichuris, known as whipworms, are recognized to infect numerous mammalian species including humans and non-human primates. Several Trichuris spp. have been described and species designation/identification is traditionally based on

Whipworm (\u3ci\u3eTrichuris dipodomys\u3c/i\u3e) infection in kangaroo rats (\u3ci\u3eDipodomys\u3c/i\u3e spp.): effects on digestive efficiency [PDF]

, 1995
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 ...

Panning for molecular gold in whipworm genomes [PDF]

Nature Genetics, 2014
Two new studies report genomic data on three species of whipworm, soil-transmitted parasitic worms responsible for trichuriasis. These genomes provide insights into host-pathogen interactions and potential for new drug targets for helminth therapy.

Trichuris vulpis and T. trichiura infections among schoolchildren of a rural community in northwestern Thailand: the possible role of dogs in disease transmission

, 2010
Background: Trichuriasis is an important soil-transmitted helminth infection caused by Trichuris trichiura. About one-tenth of the world population may be infected. Incidentally, T.
