Extract

Intestinal helminth parasites are responsible for a significant amount of pathology in both humans and farmed animals, resulting in a reduction in the quality of life, and occasionally lethal infection as well as causing decreases in livestock productivity. The importance of these parasites globally has resulted in efforts to understand the mechanisms of the host–parasite interaction epidemiology, and to develop methods for diagnosis and control.
