Trichuris trichiura a) how to isolate (sputum, blood, fecal matter, etc.) b) where found-niche (water, air, food, etc.) c) what media (nutrient, starch, etc) d) selective growth condition (aerobic, anaerobic, etc.) e) identifying traits f) give virulent facts (those that help it be pathogenic) g) disease it may cause h) how each disease could be treated
Trichuris trichiura is a helminth by nature involved in disease called trichuriasis in humans. The features of this rotifer can be discussed as below:
Answer part a: A stool-culture is performed for isolation of these rotifers by diluting the stool in ultra-clean water and thereby re-culturing it.
Answer part b: The pathogen is generally residing in warm places with high moisture content such as warm soil and water.
Answer part c: The pathogen requires large amount of nutrients mostly proteins and starch for their survival. This is why they survive as a parasite inside human intestine.
Answer part d: These organisms grow selectively under anaerobic conditions in the large intestine, hence difficult to eradicate.
