How many species of whipworms do we share? Whipworms from man an other primates from two phylogenetic lineages
Original language description
The whipworms,i.e. parasitic nematodes of the genus Trichuris Roeder, 1761, infect a variety of mammals. Apparently low diversity of primate-infecting species of Trichuris strongly contrasts with the high number of species described in other mammalian hosts. The present study addresses the diversity of whipworms in captive and free-ranging primates and humans by analyzing nuclear (18S rRNA, ITS2)and mitochondrial (cox1) DNA. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that primate whipworms form two independent lineages: (i) the Trichuris trichiura (Linnaeus, 1771) clade comprised of genetically almost identical whipworms from human and other primates, which suggests the ability of T.trichiura to infect a broader range of primates;(ii) a clade containing primarilyTrichuris suis Schrank, 1788, where isolates from human and various primates formed a sister group to isolates from pigs;the former isolates thus may represent the existence of more species of Trichuris in primates including humans.
