N2 - Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is caused by intestinal parasites that require an obligate development period in the soil [1,2], predominantly roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworm (Trichuris trichiura), and hookworms (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus), with the recent addition of threadworm (Strongyloides stercoralis). Historically, these parasites have been among the most common infections in humans, disproportionately affecting the world’s most disadvantaged and marginalized people.
