Hatching of whipworm eggs induced by bacterial contact is serine-protease dependent

2024-08-15

Abstract excerpt

Whipworms ( Trichuris spp) are ubiquitous parasites of humans and domestic and wild mammals that cause chronic disease, considerably impacting human and animal health. Egg hatching is a critical phase in the whipworm life cycle that marks the initiation of infection, with newly hatched larvae rapidly migrating to and invading host intestinal epithelial cells. Hatching is triggered by the host microbiota; however,...
