Description:It is estimated that more than one billion people are infected with soil-transmitted helminths (STH), 200 million with Schistosoma spp., and 100 million with Strongyloides. These parasites are some of the most common infections in refugees. Although frequently asymptomatic or sub-clinical, these infections may cause significant illness and even result in death. Parasites that infect humans represent a very complex and broad category of organisms. This section of the guidelines will address the parasitic infections most commonly encountered in refugees but will focus on soil-transmitted helminthic infections (Ascaris, Trichuris, hookworm), Strongyloides, and Schistosoma spp.
