Trichuris
''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–differentia definition, genus of Parasitic worm, parasitic helminths from the roundworm family (biology), family Trichuridae.

Trichuris Ovis
''Trichuris ovis'', commonly known as a whipworm, is a nematode belonging to the genus ''Trichuris''. This whipworm species was first discovered in 1795 and is known to infect sheep and goats. These organisms are capable of inhabiting any region that has the aforementioned hosts, as can be attested by the numerous reports of ''T. ovis'' findings throughout North and South America, Australia, Europe, and Asia. Information regarding the species' general life cycle and egg development can be seen in the ''Trichuris ''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–differentia definition, ...'' page. Morphology This species of whipworm is white and is known to have a long, thin neck that composes two-thirds of its body, and a short, thick posterior. The male organisms of ''T. ovis'' usually range from 53.04mm-7 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Whipworm
''Trichuris trichiura, Trichocephalus trichiuris'' or whipworm, is a parasitic roundworm (a type of helminth) that causes trichuriasis (a type of helminthiasis which is one of the neglected tropical diseases) when it infects a human large intestine. It is commonly known as the ''whipworm'' which refers to the shape of the worm; it looks like a whip with wider "handles" at the posterior end. The helminth is also known to cause rectal prolapse. Life cycle The female ''T. trichiura'' produces 2,000–10,000 single-celled eggs per day. Eggs are deposited from human feces to soil where, after two to three weeks, they become embryonated and enter the "infective" stage. These embryonated infective eggs are ingested by hand-mouth or through fomites and hatch in the human small intestine, exploiting the intestinal microflora as a stimulus to hatching. This is the location of growth and molting. The infective larvae penetrate the villi and continue to develop in the small intestine. T ...

Trichuris Suis
''Trichuris suis'' is a whipworm; the variations in thickness of the anterior and posterior segments give the parasite the characteristic "whip-like" appearance. Adult females measure 6 to 8 cm and adult males 3 to 4 cm. ''T. suis'' eggs are oval (60 × 25 μm) and yellow-brown with bipolar plugs.Trichuris suis in finishing pigs: Case report and review Journal of Swine Health and Production — November and December 2010 ''T. suis'' is also used in helminthic therapy studies.

Trichuriasis
Trichuriasis, also known as whipworm infection, is an infection by the parasitic worm '' Trichuris trichiura'' (whipworm). If the infection is only with a few worms, there are often no symptoms. In those who are infected with many worms, there may be abdominal pain, fatigue and diarrhea. The diarrhea sometimes contains blood. Infections in children may cause poor intellectual and physical development. Low red blood cell levels may occur due to loss of blood. The disease usually spreads when people eat food or drink water containing these worms' eggs. This may occur when contaminated vegetables are not fully cleaned or cooked. Often these eggs are in the soil in areas where people defecate outside and where untreated human feces is used as fertilizer. These eggs originate from the feces of infected people. Young children playing in such soil and putting their hands in their mouths also become infected easily. The worms live in the large bowel and are about four centimetres in ...
