Nanopore-based analysis unravels the genetic landscape and phylogenetic relationships of human-infecting <i>Trichuris incognita</i> and <i>Trichuris trichiura</i> in Côte d’Ivoire, Uganda, Tanzania, and Laos

Abstract excerpt
Soil-transmitted helminthiases, particularly trichuriasis, affect over 500 million people, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. Traditional diagnostics fail to distinguish between Trichuris species, obscuring transmission patterns and treatment outcomes. Using nanopore-based full-length ITS2 rDNA sequencing, we analyzed 687 samples from Côte d’Ivoire, Laos, Tanzania, and Uganda, confirming the phylogenetic...
