 Recent research verified by the application of molecular techniques (PCR) that dogs are a reservoir for "T. trichiura", as well as "T. vulpis".Non-biting cyclorrhaphan flies ("Musca domestica", "M. sorbens", "Chrysomya rufifacies", "C. bezziana", "Lucina cuprina", "Calliphora vicina" and "Wohlfarthia magnifica") have been found to carry "Trichuris trichiura".A study in two localized areas in Ethiopia found cockroaches were carriers for several human intestinal parasites, including "T. trichiura".
