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.

The paper uses hybrid sequencing to analyze the off-target effects of antiparasitic drugs on the human gut microbiome, finding that ivermectin-albendazole significantly alters microbial composition and function.

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 identifies and characterizes a new human-infecting Trichuris species, Trichuris incognita n. sp., which shows resistance to albendazole-ivermectin treatment and suggests species-level differences in drug response rather than resistance.
