Helminthiasis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Helminthiasis is a macroparasitic disease of humans and animals in which a part of the body is infested with parasitic worms such as pinworm, roundworm, or tapeworm. Typically, the worms reside in the gastrointestinal tract but may also burrow into the liver or other organs.
Several types of soil-transmitted helminthiases are considered neglected diseases.
Helminthiasis can have immunomodulatory effects on the host,[1] with implications for any coinfecting pathogens.
