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).
