Helminthiasis
Helminthiasis (alternatively spelled helminthosis; plural helminthiases), also known as helminth infection or worm infection, is any macroparasitic disease of humans and other animals in which a part of the body is infected with parasitic worms (helminths). These parasites are broadly classified into tapeworms, flukes, and roundworms. They often live in the gastrointestinal tract of their hosts, but may also burrow into other organs, where they induce physiological damage. They remain the major cause of wildlife diseases, economic crises in the livestock industry, and human socio-economic problems in developing countries.
Some types of helminthiases are among the neglected tropical diseases targeted under the joint action of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies and non-governmental organizations through an ambitious project called "London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases" which was launched on 30 January 2012. It aims to control or eradicate those particular diseases by 2020, by ensuring necessary supply of drugs and other intervention, and promoting sanitation and health education.
Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) and schistosomiasis are the most important group of helminthiases, collectively belonging to the "neglected tropical diseases". Soil-transmitted helminthiases are responsible for parasitic infections in a quarter of the total human population. One well-known example of soil-transmitted helminthiases is ascariasis.
