worm helminth

Soil-transmitted helminth and schistosomes are great public health problems in several tropical and subtropical developing countries with poor socio-economic status and personal hygiene.

Large household size has been reported to increase the risk of helminthic infection, possibly due to increased contamination of the local environment, thereby increasing the chance of infection in the members of the household.

The most common helminths are tapeworms and roundworms.

Almost all of the fatal cases of helminthic infection in the United States are caused by an autoinfecting nematode.

Experiments conducted by Dr. David Elliott, et al at the University of Iowa using mice with experimental inflammatory bowel disease showed that helminthic worms protected the animals from this disease.
