The findings suggest that a FECR of >95% for A. lumbricoides and >90% for hookworms should be the expected minimum in all future surveys, and that therapeutic efficacy below this level following a single dose of ALB should be viewed with concern in light of potential drug resistance.
Th2 cytokines are associated with reduced worm burdens in a human intestinal helminth infection.

A role for Th2-mediated responses in the age-dependent reduction of intestinal helminth infections in humans is promoted after it was found the intensity of A. lumbricoides infection was significantly reduced after age 11 years.
Human gastrointestinal nematode infections: are new control methods required?

The most important parasitic GI nematodes and the methods available to control them are reviewed and the current status of new anthelmintic treatments, particularly the plant cysteine proteinases from various sources of latex‐bearing plants and fruits are discussed.
Helminth infections in Apodemus sylvaticus in southern England: interactive effects of host age, sex and year on the prevalence and abundance of infections

The patterns of between-year variations in the prevalence and abundance of infection were different for each of the six species for which sufficient quantitative data were available to enable statistical analysis.
Helminth communities from two urban rat populations in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Since at least two species of rat borne helminths in Kuala Lumpur have the potential to infect humans, and these showed high prevalences in the rats, the assessment and regular monitoring of infections carried by wild rodents have important roles to play in public health.

The decreasing prevalence of IgM antibodies between 2005 and 2008 suggested that exposure to T. gondii from food or environmental sources declined over this period in Qatar and population-based studies of newborns would be helpful to accurately estimate incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis.

A Comparison of the Sensitivity and Fecal Egg Counts of the McMaster Egg Counting and Kato-Katz Thick Smear Methods for Soil-Transmitted Helminths

The McMaster egg counting method is an alternative method for monitoring large-scale treatment programs and is a robust (accurate multiplication factor) and accurate (reliable efficacy results) method, which can be easily standardized.
