Trichuris Trichuris (whipworm) (8 of 10)
Case description
Image of Female Adult Trichuris Trichiura
Almost a fourth of the world’s population is infected
withwhipworm, Trichuris trichiura, which, fortunately, is
characterized by a relative lack of symptoms; only patients
with heavy infections become symptomatic. Trichuris eggs
are unembryonated and not infectious when they are
excreted. Development to the infectious stage takes at
least 2 weeks, and the host only becomes infected after
ingesting embryonated eggs from the environment, usually
from dirt or possibly contaminated water.
