Filter by:Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections caused by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, or hookworm, affect approximately 1.5 millions individuals primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. STHs infections have been associated with delay in growth and development in children. The prevalence in Indonesia varied from 45% to 65%, but in poor sanitation areas the prevalence can increased to 80%. World Health Organization currently recommends mass treatment with benzimidazoles and health hygiene education to control the disease. In this study we evaluated the effectiveness of single and four-monthly health hygiene education to STH reinfection rates among school-aged children in Mandailing Natal district, North Sumatera province, Indonesia.
This study evaluates the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of different formulations of the Na-GST-1 hookworm vaccine using a controlled human hookworm infection model in healthy, hookworm-naive adults.
The main objective of this study is to characterize the regulatory immune response induced by hookworm in an infected Vietnamese rural population from the periphery of HCM, evolution after infection treatment and during potential naturally reinfection.
