This study identifies consistent taxonomic and functional gut microbiota changes associated with Trichuris trichiura infection across three countries, revealing shared ecological responses and metabolic impacts.

This study shows that ivermectin and moxidectin inhibit gut bacterial growth and induce antibiotic-like resistance, raising concerns about cross-resistance to other antibiotics.

The paper uses nanopore sequencing to identify two genetically distinct Trichuris species in humans and non-human primates, revealing geographic patterns and highlighting a new diagnostic marker for resource-limited settings.

This study evaluates SNPs in β-tubulin genes of human soil-transmitted helminths to assess their association with benzimidazole resistance, finding no strong evidence for their role as resistance markers.
