Trichuris trichiurahas a simple, direct, life cycle, which does not involve any intermediate hosts (Figure 1). Both male (30–45mm) and female (30–50mm) adults inhabit the cecum and much of thelarge intestine. They have a characteristic narrow anterior portion (hence the popular name of ...
The trichiuriasis is a worm infestation caused by the parasite Trichuris trichiura a nematode about 4 cm long, which inhabits the large intestine of infected individuals.

Aaron Jex and colleagues report whole-genome sequencing of adult male and female whipworm, Trichuris suis, from experimentally infected pigs. They also report stage-, sex- and tissue-specific transcriptomes and provide insights into host-parasite interac
Species of whipworms (whose eggs look very similar to those of dog whipworm) do infest other types of animal hosts including: cattle (infected with Trichuris discolor), sheep (infected with Trichuris ovis), pigs (infected with Trichuris suis) and humans (infected with Trichuris trichiura). ...

Therefore, one would not expect to find any homozygotes (TAC/TAC) in the adult T. trichiura recovered from humans following MBD treatment. However, the eggs of T. trichiura were obtained from humans not treated with any anthelmintic. These eggs were included to examine any potential influence...
