Answer to Parasite Case of the Week 598: Trichuris trichiura, the human whipworm. This is a beautiful classic case from Idzi. Notice the whip-like shape. Just don't be fooled by the anatomy - the anterior end is the skinny end!
Every week I will post a new Case, along with the answer to the previous case. Please feel free to write in with your answers, comments, and questions. Also check out my image archive website at http://parasitewonders.com. Enjoy!
