AB  - Parasitic  worms,  also  known  as  helminths,  are  a  leading  cause  of  global  morbidity  and  mortality,  particularly  in  low-income  and  resource  constrained  regions.  More  than  1  billion  people  in  developing  areas  of  sub-Saharan  Africa,  Asia,  and  the  Americas  are  infected  with  one  or  more  helminth  species.1  The  helminths  causing  human  disease  include  the  nematodes  (roundworms)  and  the  platyhelminths  (flatworms).  The  platyhelminths  are  further  subdivided  into  the  cestodes  (tapeworms)  and  the  trematodes  (schistosomes  and  other  flukes).
