Background Individual helminth infections are ubiquitous in the tropics; geographical
overlaps in endemicity and epidemiological reports suggest areas endemic for multiple …

Parasitic infections are widespread throughout the tropics and sub-tropics, and infection with
multiple parasite species is the norm rather than the exception. Despite the ubiquity of …

A disproportionate burden of helminthiases in human populations occurs in marginalised,
low-income, and resource-constrained regions of the world, with over 1 billion people in …

Background Schistosomiasis and infection by soil-transmitted helminths are some of the
world's most prevalent neglected tropical diseases. Infection by more than one parasite (co …

Polyparasitism, involving soil-transmitted helminths. and Schistosoma blood flukes, is
common in low to middle income countries. These helminths impact on the gut environment …

Background Polyparasitism is still widespread in rural communities of the developing world.
However, the epidemiology of polyparasitism and implications for morbidity are poorly …

Background. We wanted to quantify the impact that polyparasite infections, including
multiple concurrent low-intensity infections, have on anemia Methods. Three stool samples …

Background Individuals living in areas endemic for helminths are commonly infected with

In this paper, the Disease Reference Group on Helminth Infections (DRG4), established in
2009 by the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), with …

Multi-species interactions can often have non-intuitive consequences. However, the study of
parasite interactions has rarely gone beyond the effects of pairwise combinations of species …
