WHAT DOES HELMINTHIASIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

helminthiasis

Helminthiasis

Helminthiasis /ˌhɛlminˈθaɪəsis/ is any macroparasitic disease of humans and animals in which a part of the body is infected with parasitic worms known as helminths. These parasites are broadly classified into tapeworms, flukes, and roundworms. They often live in the gastrointestinal tract of their hosts, but may also burrow into other organs, where they induce physiological damage. They remain the major cause of wildlife diseases, economic crises in the livestock industry, and human socio-economic problems in developing countries. Major helminthiases are among the neglected tropical diseases targeted under the joint action of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies and non-governmental organizations through an ambitious project called London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases which was launched on 30 January 2012. It aims to control or eradicate the diseases by 2020, by ensuring necessary supply of drugs and other intervention, and promoting sanitation and health education.
