Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminths, a group of three intestinal parasitic worms, are estimated to affect about a billion people worldwide, predominantly in low-income settings. The world's largest deworming programme is the lymphatic filariasis elimination programme, which combines community-wide treatment with drugs that target soil-transmitted helminths. As these programmes are scaled back because of successful control of lymphatic filariasis, the question of whether and how to continue or expand deworming for soil-transmitted helminths, usually delivered through school-based deworming programmes, remains to be answered.
