Case description

Caudal aspect of female Trichuris trichura.
( Stereoscopic view)

The history of T. Trichuria dates back to the times of
prehistoric man; however, the first written record of T.
trchiura appeared in 1740 when an Italian scientist by the
name of Morgani discovered the residence of adult T.
trichiura worms in the colon. In 1761 Roedere, a German
physician, gave a report of the exact morphologic
description and provided accurate drawings of the parasite.
The organism received its taxonomy classification in the
18th C.
