Overview
Trichuris trichiura is the third most common nematode worldwide following Ascaris and Enterobius, all three together approximately 1 billion people. Whip worm infection is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries. The prevalence of Trichuris trichiura is high affecting 95% in children in countries where protein energy malnutrition and anemia are prevalent.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Worldwide, the total number of people infected with Trichuris trichiura in the year 2002 was 1 billion.[1]
- In USA, the prevalence of Trichuris trichiura 100 per 100,000 individuals.
- Worldwide, prevalence of Trichuris trichiura is high, affecting 95% of children in countries where protein energy malnutrition and anemia are prevalent..[2]
Incidence
- Trichuris trichiura is the third most common nematode worldwide following Ascaris and Enterobius, all three together approximately 1 billion people.
Age
- Trichuris trichiura is more common among school-aged children compared to adults.[3]
Gender
- There is no gender predilection for infection with Trichuris trichiura.
Race
- There is no racial predilection for infection with Trichuris trichiura.
Geographic distribution
- Trichuriasis occurs in the southern United States.
- Whip worm infection is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries.[4]
- Incidence and prevalence rates are highest in children living in sub-Saharan Africa, followed by Asia and then Latin America and the Caribbean.[5][6]
- Worldwide, infections are more frequent in areas with tropical weather and poor sanitation practices.[7]
