| | Whipworms in Dogs |
 | | The whipworm, or trichuris vulpis, is an intestinal parasite that affects dogs. | | | Whipworms live in the large intestine, embedding themselves in the tissue of the intestine and sucking blood there. | | | Once consumed, the egg hatches in the small intestine and releases a larva which eventually passes into the large intestine and embeds in the tissue there. |

| | If a dog is presented with chronic weight loss and passes stool that seems to have a covering of mucous (especially the last portion of stool the dog passes), and lives in a kennel situation or an area where whipworms are prevalent, the veterinarian may prescribe a whipworm medication based upon circumstantial evidence. | | | Repeat wormings may be necessary especially if there is a probability that the dog will become reinfested. | | | The host animal will be given deworming medication and supportive therapy. |

| | The interest in this finding comes from the fact that similar results were observed in pigs infected with swine whipworm Trichuris suis and it suggests that antibiotic therapy may also be useful in treating humans infected with the human whipworm Trichuris trichiura. | | | Interpretive Summary: The rodent gastrointestinal whipworm parasite Trichuris muris provides an interesting and useful model for studying resistance and the expression of disease in both swine and humans infected with other species of Trichuris. | | | The impact of this study comes from the observation that a local immune response must be appropriate to the infectious agents that are present at the site of the response. |
