A Dog with Pseudo-Addison Disease Associated with Trichuris vulpis Infection

Trichuris vulpis (Froelich, 1789) Infection in a Child: A Case Report

We present a human infection with the canine whipworm, Trichuris vulpis, in a child suffering from rhinitis with a diagnosis of rhinitis. T. vulpis eggs resemble those of T. trichiura but they can be differentiated based on their morphological features and egg size, using micrometry with an ocular micrometer. T. vulpis eggs measured an average of 90 µm by 44 µm (range 86-99 µm by 38-47 µm). Pre...

Morphological Changes in the Intestine of Dogs, Experimentally Infected with Trichuris Vulpis

In 11 dogs, experimentally infected with Trichuris vulpis, the course of localization of larvae and sexually mature parasites during the different stages of their development in hosts as well as the induced histopathological changes in small and large intestine were monitored. It was found out that up to the 15 day after the infection, T. vulpis larvae developed into small intestinal mucosa and...
