Meanings of helminthiasis in English

The prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis is measured by means of stool examinations.

The low prevalence of soil-transmitted helminthiasis in both populations was confirmed by an additional multiplex PCR.

Six cases of helminthiasis were also identified.

Intestinal infection due to the pinworm Enterobius vermicularis is the most prevalent helminthiasis in Europe and North America.

Further studies should investigate the combination of albendazole plus oxantel pamoate so that it can be considered for soil-transmitted helminthiasis control programmes.

We propose that the time is now to strengthen the global strategy to address the substantial disease burden of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis.

Prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis: 999 stool specimens are examined in 9 villages located in the valley of the Guerleo River.
