The impact of community-wide, mass drug administration on aggregation of soil-transmitted helminth infection in human host populations
BACKGROUND: Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are intestinal parasites estimated to infect over 1.5 billion people. Current treatment programmes are aimed at morbidity control through school-based deworming programmes (targeting school-aged children, SAC) and treating women of reproductive age (WRA),...
