AB  - Trichuris  trichiura,  the  whipworm,  infects  about  500  million  persons  throughout  the  world,  particularly  in  humid  tropical  and  subtropical  environments.  Infection  is  heaviest  and  most  frequent  in  children.  Infections  are  acquired  by  ingestion  of  eggs.  The  larvae  hatch  in  the  small  intestine  and  mature  in  the  large  bowel  to  adult  worms  of  about  4  cm  in  length  (eFigures  35–33  and  35–34).  The  worms  do  not  migrate  through  tissues.
