Identification and Inhibition of GLUT like proteins in <i>Trichuris spp</i> as a druggable target

2026-06-30

Abstract excerpt

Over a quarter of the world’s population is at risk of infection by soil transmitted helminths (STH). Among the STHs Trichuris trichiura infects approximately 7% of people globally, causing a loss of 232,000 DALYS. The main strategy to combat T. trichiura infection focusses on mass drug administration with the benzimidazoles. Whilst albendazole and mebendazole have been effective at reducing the burden of other...
