A Critical Appraisal of Control Strategies for Soil-Transmitted Helminths

Trends in Parasitology, 2016
Interventions that lead to reductions in soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) include chemotherapy with anthelmintic drugs and improvements in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). In this opinion article we aim to determine the evidence for optimal approaches for STH control. First we explore the evidence for the above interventions.
