The bulbous posterior end of the whipworm lies free in the intestinal lumen and harbors the reproductive organs, giving adult Trichuris parasites their characteristic whip-like morphology. (nature.com)
With helminthic therapy, patients are deliberately infected with the eggs or adult forms of parasitic worms such as Necator americanus (hookworm) and Trichuris suis (pig whipworm) to treat such immune-mediated disorders as inflammatory bowel disease ( Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis ), as well as asthma and type 1 diabetes .

is caused by the round‐worm Trichuris trichiura, called the whipworm because its body resembles a whip. (cliffsnotes.com)

There are four species of helminth causing soil-transmitted helminthiases: hookworms Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator Americans , roundworm Ascariasis lumbricoides , and whipworm Trichuris trichura . (who.int)
STH are transmitted through ingestion of the tiny, infectious eggs of Ascaris, whipworm, and some hookworm, and through skin transmission for hookworm. (cdc.gov)
Once in soil, infective larvae of Ascaris and whipworms develop in the fertile eggs and, if ingested by a human host, hatch and develop into adult worms over several months. (cdc.gov)
Because Ascaris, whipworm, and hookworm do not multiply in hosts (as opposed to threadworm), reinfection occurs only as a result of additional exposure to the infective-stage larvae. (cdc.gov)
In returning travelers, parasitic eggs might not appear in stool for several months after exposure or symptom onset, because after infection female worms do not produce eggs for ≥40 days for Ascaris and ≥70 days for whipworm or hookworm. (cdc.gov)
In the present study, we conducted a large-scale investigation of TIMP proteins of a range of neglected human parasites including the hookworm Necator americanus , the roundworm Ascaris suum , the liver flukes Clonorchis sinensis and Opisthorchis viverrini , as well as the schistosome blood flukes. (biomedcentral.com)
Wormex is used for the treatment of infections caused by helminths (worms) like Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm/threadworm), Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm), Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus (hookworms), Trichuris trichiura (whipworm), Strongyloides stercoralis, animal hookworm larvae causing cutaneous larva migrans, and Opisthorchis viverrini (liver flukes) and Clonorchis sinensis. (9meds.com)
Infection occurs when people ingest eggs (in the case of roundworm and whipworm) or larvae (in the case of hookworms) present in contaminated soil. (who.int)
Hookworms3
Helminths are parasitic worms such as hookworms, whipworms, and threadworms that have evolved to live within a host organism on which they rely for nutrients. (wikipedia.org)
Whipworms are common soil-transmitted helminths that cause debilitating chronic infections in man. (nature.com)
Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator1
[1] These parasites live in the intestines of dogs, cats, and wild animals and should not be confused with other members of the hookworm family for which humans are definitive hosts , namely Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus . (mdwiki.org)
Larvae2
Whipworms have a simple and direct life cycle, and, unlike the related parasite Trichinella spiralis , whipworm larvae do not form cysts in muscle tissue but reside exclusively in the intestine. (nature.com)
This full development of N. Americanus in the experimental host initiated with human derived infective larvae (NaL3 ) is a great achievement indeed. (boffinaccess.com)
Necator americanus predominates in the Americas , Sub-Saharan Africa , Southeast Asia , China and Indonesia , while A. duodenale predominates in the Middle East , North Africa , India and (formerly) in southern Europe . (wikidoc.org)
A single dose of albendazole is sufficient to treat intestinal infestations by A. duodenale or Necator americanus . (wikipedia.org)
Intestinal2
Bacillary cells and stichocytes are distinctive cell types found only in clade I nematodes 5 and are located in the slender anterior part of the adult whipworm that is burrowed within the intestinal epithelium. (nature.com)
On the basis of high-throughput transcriptomics data, we identify whipworm proteins that are highly expressed in the anterior region of the parasite, that is, in intimate contact with the cytoplasm of host intestinal cells and the immune system. (nature.com)
Infect2
This entailed mining available transcriptomic and/or genomic sequence datasets for the presence of homologues of known TIMPs, predicting secondary structures of defined protein sequences, systematic phylogenetic analyses and assessment of differential expression of genes encoding putative TIMPs in the developmental stages of A. suum , N. americanus and Schistosoma haematobium which infect the mammalian hosts. (biomedcentral.com)
Over 270 million preschool-age children and over 600 million school-age children live in areas where these parasites are intensively transmitted, and are in need of treatment and preventive interventions.The main species that infect people are the roundworm ( Ascaris lumbricoides ), the whipworm ( Trichuris trichiura ) and hookworms ( Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale ). (emobileclinic.com)
Parasites2
On the basis of whole-transcriptome analyses, we identify many genes that are expressed in a sex- or life stage-specific manner and characterize the transcriptional landscape of a morphological region with unique biological adaptations, namely, bacillary band and stichosome, found only in whipworms and related parasites. (nature.com)
The availability of these two important whipworm genomes and the integration of parasite and host data presented here will underpin future efforts to control these parasites and exploit their immunological interplay for human benefit. (nature.com)
Parasite2
Together, these genomes and associated functional data elucidate key aspects of the molecular host-parasite interactions that define chronic whipworm infection. (nature.com)
Initially Sen [6] adapted human parasite, Necator americanus on injecting cortisone to experimental animals (up to 4 generations) and intensively made susceptible to Necator pathogen. (boffinaccess.com)
Developmental1
The developmental cycle of adaptation of human hookworm, Necator americanus into laboratory rodent host hamster, is being critically reviewed. (boffinaccess.com)
Human1
As early as 1967, Sen and his associates published an article in "Nature" on adaptation of human hook worm, Necator americanus in hamsters. (boffinaccess.com)
Description1
Gene expression data from mice with low-dose whipworm infection provide a detailed description of a regulated T H 1-like immune response to the infected cecum that is not limited to the immediate site of infection. (nature.com)
Parasitic worms1
On the Imedis, we diagnosed excessive negative impact (ENI), infection with whipworms and lamblia (for more details, see the article "On parasitic worms).ENI impaired ovarian function. (stop-allergiya.com)
Infection1
OBJECTIVES: Despite public health concerns about hookworm infection in pregnancy, little is known about immune profiles associated with hookworm (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) infection during pregnancy. (bvsalud.org)
Eggs3
Some clinical trials have also shown that exposure to helminthes reduced the disease activity in patients of Crohn's disease, where 29 patients were advised to ingest 2,500 pig whipworm eggs every three weeks for a period of six months. (rroij.com)
