Trichuris Trichiura thrives in areas of warm moist climates. It is a parasite that uses humans and monkeys as a host. It is more commonly known as a whipworm or a hookworm. The name comes from its distinct tail or whip that contains sex organs. At the end of the whip, is the anus which doesn't excrete waste through it. Instead, its waste diffuses through small pores in its exterior layer. It originates by living in soil and can enter humans when a person bites his or her fingernails with dirt under them or from the consumption of not properly peeled, cooked, or washed fruits and vegetables. It can enter monkeys through improper sanitation. Once inside the body, they live in the large intestine and can cause infected disease if its eggs are ingested.
