This project focuses on understanding the interactions between whipworms and host immune cells to inform potential therapies for trichuriasis. Using a mouse model, it aims to identify genetic factors influencing immune responses and explore their mechanisms.
Whipworms (Trichuris trichuira) are soil-transmitted helminths that infect about 700 million people in the tropicsand sub-tropics and cause the human disease, trichuriasis.
Whipworms live preferentially in the cecum of theirhosts where they tunnel through epithelial cells and cause inflammation potentially resulting in colitis.
Despiteextensive research, the role of whipworm interactions with epithelial and immune cells in triggering parasiteexpulsion remains unclear, hindering the development o…
