Trichuris Thrichomysi
''Trichuris'' (synonym ''Trichocephalus''), often referred to as whipworms or the silent serpent (which typically refers to ''T. trichiura'' only in medicine, and to any other species in veterinary medicine), is a genus of parasitic helminths from the roundworm family Trichuridae. The name whipworm refers to the shape of the worm; they look like whips with wider "handles" at the posterior end. Species The genus ''Trichuris'' includes over 70 species, which infect the large intestine of their host, including: * ''Trichuris trichiura'' (sometimes ''Trichocephalus trichiurus'') – causes trichuriasis in humans * '' Trichuris campanula'' (cat whipworm) * '' Trichuris serrata'' (cat whipworm) * '' Trichuris suis'' (pig whipworm) * '' Trichuris muris'' (mouse whipworm) * '' Trichuris vulpis'' (dog whipworm) A new species – as yet unnamed – has been identified in François’ leaf monkey ('' Trachypithecus francoisi'').

Johann Georg Roederer
Johann Georg Roederer (13 May 1726 – 4 April 1763) was a French physician and obstetrician who was a native of Strasbourg. Life and career Roederer studied medicine at Leiden, Paris and London, and afterwards was a pupil at the midwifery school in Strasbourg under Johann Jakob Fried (1689–1769). Through a recommendation from Albrecht von Haller (1708–1777), he was appointed in 1751 as the first professor of obstetrics at the University of Göttingen by George II of Great Britain, George II, the British monarch and Electorate of Hanover, elector of Hanover. Among his written works was a 1753 publication on the "elements of obstetrics" titled , and a treatise involving observations made with Carl Gottlieb Wagler (1731–1778) on the typhoid epidemic at Göttingen (1757–1763). He was a member of the ''Académie Royale de Chirurgie'', and in 1757, was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. His name is associated with the obstetrical term: ''Roe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trichuris Vulpis
''Trichuris vulpis'' is a whipworm that lives in the large intestine of canines in its adult stages. Out of different types of worms, ''Trichuris vulpis'' is one of the smaller worms with a size ranging from 30–50 mm in length. As the name suggests, the worm has a whip-like shape with distinct features including a small, narrow anterior head, which is the digestive part of the worm, and a larger posterior tail, which is the reproductive part of the worm. Eggs from ''T. vulpis'' are oval shaped with bipolar plugs and contain a thick outer shell. Their sizes range from 72–90 μm in length and 32–40 μm in width. Because of their thick outer shell, ''T. vulpis'' eggs are very resistant to environmental extremes such as freezing or hot temperatures, thus allowing for their long viability in the outside world. Life cycle The life cycle of ''Trichuris vulpis'' begins with the adult whipworms living in the large intestines of dogs. ''T. vulpis'' lay many eggs in th ...

Mummies
A mummy is a dead human or an animal whose soft tissues and Organ (biology), organs have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to Chemical substance, chemicals, extreme cold, very low humidity, or lack of air, so that the recovered body does not Corpse decomposition, decay further if kept in cool and dry conditions. Some authorities restrict the use of the term to bodies deliberately embalming, embalmed with chemicals, but the use of the word to cover accidentally desiccation, desiccated bodies goes back to at least the early 17th century. Mummies of humans and animals have been found on every continent, both as a result of natural preservation through unusual conditions, and as cultural artifacts. Over one million Animal mummy, animal mummies have been found in Egypt, many of which are cats. Many of the Egyptian animal mummies are African sacred ibis, sacred ibis, and radiocarbon dating suggests the Egyptian ibis mummies that have been analyzed were from ...

Neglected Tropical Diseases
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a diverse group of tropical infections that are common in low-income populations in developing regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. They are caused by a variety of pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and parasitic worms (helminths). These diseases are contrasted with the "big three" infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria), which generally receive greater treatment and research funding. In sub-Saharan Africa, disease burden, the effect of neglected tropical diseases as a group is comparable to that of malaria and tuberculosis. NTD co-infection can also make HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis more deadly. Some treatments for NTDs are relatively inexpensive. For example, praziquantel for schistosomiasis costs about US $0.20 per child per year. Nevertheless, in 2010 it was estimated that control of neglected diseases would require funding of between US$2 billion and $3 billion over the subsequent five to sev ...

Soil-transmitted Helminthiasis
Soil-transmitted helminthiasis is a type of worm infection (helminthiasis) caused by different species of roundworms. It is caused specifically by worms transmitted through soil contaminated with faecal matter and are known as soil-transmitted helminths. Three types of soil-transmitted helminthiasis can be distinguished: ascariasis, hookworm infection and whipworm infection. These three types of infection are therefore caused by the large roundworm '' A. lumbricoides, ''the hookworms'' Necator americanus ''or'' Ancylostoma duodenale'' and by the whipworm '' Trichuris trichiura''. It has become the most common parasitic disease of humans worldwide. Approximately two billion people (about a fourth of global population) are infected as of the latest estimate, and four billion at risk, surpassing even the all-time most prevalent parasitic disease, malaria. The largest numbers of cases occur in impoverished rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Chi ...
