The adult worms are white in colour and about 3- 5cm in length. As with other ''Trichuris'' species they have a narrow, fillamentous anterior end becoming broader in the posterior where adult males are coiled. Males possess a single spicule within a protusible sheath though this sheath can vary in length.
