Abstract

Ascaris spp., hookworm (Necator americanus,Ancylostoma duodenale and A. ceylanicum)and Trichuris trichiura are the most common soil transmitted helminths (STHs). Given their faecal-oral route of transmission and direct penetration of the skin by hookworm, STHs are common in poor communities. Factors previously shown to be associated with infection are poor sanitation, lack of water, deficient hygiene and low socio-economic index. In the WASH for WORMS cluster randomised controlled trial, 23 communities (clusters) received a deworming intervention consisting of albendazole administered to all eligible residents every 6 months for two years
