Phylogenetic evidence that two distinct Trichuris genotypes infect both humans and non-human primates.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

Although there has been extensive debate about whether Trichuris suis and Trichuris trichiura are separate species, only one species of the whipworm T. trichiura has been considered to infect humans and non-human primates. In order to investigate potential cross infection of Trichuris sp. between baboons and humans in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, we sequenced the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of adult Trichuris sp....
