Overview
Trichuris trichiura is the third most common nematode worldwide following Ascaris and Enterobius, all three together affect close to 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 anemias are prevalent.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of T. trichiura is high affecting 95% in children in many countries where protein energy malnutrition and anemias are prevalent.[1]
Incidence
- Trichuris trichiura is the third most common nematode worldwide following Ascaris and Enterobius, all three together affect close to 1 billion people every year.
Developed Countries
- Trichuriasis occurs in the southern United States.
Developing countries
- Whip worm infection is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries.[2]
- Worldwide, infections are more frequent in areas with tropical weather and poor sanitation practices, and among children.
