Objectives:
The overall objective is to monitor efficacy of mebendazole (MBZ) against Soil-Transmitted
Helminths (STH).
The primary objective is:
(1) to monitor the efficacy a single dose 500 mg of mebendazole (MBZ) against
Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infections by means of Faecal Egg Count Reduction (FECR)
and Cure Rate (CR).
The secondary objectives are:
1. to assess the occurrence of Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenal.
2. to assess the occurrence of β-tubulin mutations related to resistance before and after
drug administration.
3. to evaluate the role of dogs and pigs as reservoir for zoonotic transmission.
