  • More about Helminth Infections and their Impact on Global Public Health


A well-received reference work on helminthiases and their impact on worldwide public health has been revised and updated. It covers both common and neglected helminth infections, with new contributions on economic consequences, deworming programs, and future public health approaches. The book is a valuable resource for parasitologists, physicians, medical students, health professionals, and experts in public health issues, particularly those concerned with combating neglected parasitoses towards the Sustainable Development Goal SDG 3.

This is a completely overhauled version of a well-received reference work on helminthiases and their effects on global public health. The carefully organized collection covers both common and neglected helminth infections. Readers will find an up-to-date overview of helminth epidemiology (including molecular typing), specific biological, immunological, and immunopathological aspects, diagnosis, and latest perspectives on control. New contributions focus on economic consequences of helminthiases, deworming programs, and future public health approaches, as well as the most recent findings in host immune responses.

Helminths are long-lived multicellular organisms that have co-evolved with humans over many thousands of years. They are responsible for infections that affect around one-fourth of the human population, at a global level. Despite the huge efforts in research during the last years, effective control of helminth infections is still far from optimal standards, and the resulting diseases remain neglected.

The highly readable link of parasitological background and clinical application makes this book a valuable read not only for parasitologists but also for physicians and medical students, health professionals, and experts in public health issues. Moreover, all readers concerned with combating neglected parasitoses towards the Sustainable Development Goal SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) will understand the significance of this renewed volume.
