Meanings of STH in English

Age and not schooling were risk factors for Plasmodium and STH co-infection.

Design: Nested case-control study of all subjects randomized to the STH treatment arm.

The role of multiparasite STH infections in undermining children's nutritional status warrants more research.

The prevalence and intensity of S. mansoni and STH before and after treatment were analyzed.

Conclusions: We found no strong evidence for an association between STH infection and serum IL-10 concentration levels.

Meanwhile 28 microsatellite markers were used to measure the genetic distance between imported populations and STH population.

Four months later, STH infection was re-assessed in all schools by laboratory technologists blinded to intervention status.

Preventive chemotherapy should be maintained in areas with elevated STH prevalence alongside targeted delivery of integrated WASH interventions.

Their infection status with S. mansoni and STH was determined by parasitological examinations at baseline and at annual follow-ups.

The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors associated with STH infections in schoolchildren living in rural Honduras.

Demographic, socio-economic, and epidemiological data were obtained through a standardized questionnaire and STH infections were determined by the Kato-Katz method.

Conclusions: STH infections remain a public health concern in Honduras and despite current efforts were highly prevalent in the studied community.

Municipalities with lower human development index, less access to of potable water, and with higher annual precipitation showed higher STH prevalences.

The High Court was told applications to put development firms STH 500 and Lehill Properties into administration are to be withdrawn.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and intensity of STH infections and their association with nutritional status in a sample of Honduran children.

Demographic data was obtained, hemoglobin and protein concentrations were determined in blood samples and STH infections investigated in single-stool samples by Kato-Katz.
