Population genomics of ancient and modern <i>Trichuris trichiura</i>

2021-10-21

Abstract excerpt

The neglected tropical disease trichuriasis is caused by the whipworm Trichuris trichiura , a soil-transmitted helminth that has infected humans for millennia. Today, T. trichiura infects as many as 500 million people, predominantly in communities with poor sanitary infrastructure enabling sustained faecal-oral transmission. Using whole-genome sequencing of geographically distributed worms collected from human a...
