-==Overview==
-Whipworm infection is caused by the [[roundworm]], [[Trichocephalus trichiura]]. It is a common infection that mainly affects children. Children may become infected if they swallow soil contaminated with whipworm [[eggs]]. When the eggs hatch inside the body, the whipworm sticks inside the wall of the [[large intestine]]. Whipworm is found throughout the world, especially in countries with warm, humid climates. Some outbreaks have been traced to contaminated vegetables (believed to be due to soil contamination).
