Introducing Trichuris incognita During a clinical trial in Côte d'Ivoire, Swiss TPH and partners identified a previously unknown species of whipworm infecting humans. The characterisation of Trichuris incognita is now published in The Lancet Microbe, with implications for how we understand and approach whipworm infections globally. We're proud to have contributed to this discovery alongside our partners at Université Félix Houphouët-Boigny and Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques en Côte d'Ivoire.
