About Trichuris suis
The nematode Trichuris suis, or whipworm, is a parasite of pigs that is found worldwide, but is most prevalent in warm, humid climates. Critical infestations of T. suis may cause acute morbidity and mortality in young female pigs. T. suis has been shown in trials to colonize humans briefly without triggering infections.

Genome Assembly & Annotation
Assembly
The genome of a male T. suis isolate (strain DCEP-RM93M) was sequenced by the Gasser laboratory at the University of Melbourne, as described by Jex et al (2014). The assembly version represented here was submitted directly to WormBase in early 2014.
Annotation
The gene predictions were made by the Gasser laboratory at the University of Melbourne, as described by Jex et al (2014). The gene set represented here is that submitted directly to WormBase in early 2014.
