1 The highest infection rate of Ascaris and Trichuris was in the age group of 10-14 years, and a decrease tendency was revealed in those above 60 years old.

2 No cross reactions with ascaris lumbricoides and trichuris were observed.

3 There are now many of us using trichuris trichuria to treat Ulcerative Colitis.

4 Clinical trials are under way in the U.S. and Europe testing Trichuris Suis Ova (TSO)—-a species of pig whipworm—as a treatment for peanut allergies, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and MS.

6 I have ulcerative colitis, and actually use the very helminths mentioned here to treat it--human whipworm or trichuris trichuria.

7 The immunological cross-reaction among Ascaris lumbricoides, Ascaris suum, hookworm, Trichuris trichiura and Toxocara canis was studied with SDS-PAGE immunoblotting technique.

8 This colonic mucosal surface is erythematous because of the enormous infestation by Trichuris organisms ( whipworms ).

9 Conclusion Ivermectin shows similar effect on Ascaris with albendazole, better effect on Trichuris and poorer effect on hookworm and Enterobius than albendazole.
