Ending the neglect - setting the platform for strongyloidiasis elimination in Australia

There are two main Strongyloides species that cause human infection; S. stercoralis and S. fuelleborni. In Australia, S. stercoralis is the infecting species that disproportionately affects remote Indigenous communities, with the prevalence ranging from 10-60%. It is our central thesis that strongyloidiasis is a zoonotic neglected tropical disease of public health importance in Australia and that an integrated interdisciplinary One Health approach is required for its elimination.
