What Wikipedia says

Trichuriasis, also known as whipworm infection or trichocephaliasis, is an infection by the parasitic worm Trichuris trichiura (whipworm). If the infection is only with a few worms, there are often no symptoms. In those who are infected with many worms, there may be abdominal pain, fatigue and diarrhea.
