Abstract

Trichuris trichiura is a parasitic worm that is transferred through soil and infects people worldwide. There have also been recorded cases of humans being infected by Trichuris suis and Trichuris vulpis. Identification of Trichuris species infecting human populations at the molecular level. In this study, we examined the laboratory identification of Trichuris trichiura and its effects on human patients. Traditional techniques encompass microscopy, culture, and egg quantification. Serology plays a significant role, particularly in cases involving S. stercoralis, as standard approaches have low sensitivities. The use of quick and extremely sensitive molecular techniques, such as quantitative polymerase-chain reaction, is well-suited for diagnosing STH compared to insensitive and labor-intensive traditional approaches. Previously, the detection of STH (Soil-Transmitted Helminths) at the molecular level was primarily limited to research environments. However, there is currently a suggestion to incorporate molecular testing into the STH eradication programs endorsed by the World Health Organization.
