Helminthic infestations playing a significant role in under nutrition has been brought out in several studies as is evident from the metaanalysis done by Strunz et al.
It should be mentioned that in the recent years the prevalence of intestinal parasites, particularly of
helminthic infections showed significant decrease, which can be explained as follows: (a) substitution of untreated human excrement with chemical fertilizer, (b) installation and operation of reliable sewage system, (c) education on disinfecting vegetables before use, and (d) implementation of health educational programmes specially in Iran.
In addition to evaluating the potential eradicability of these seven diseases, the ITFDE determined that an opportunity exists to greatly reduce the burden of disease caused by several major
helminthic infections (e.g., schistosomiasis, ascariasis, hookworm disease, and trichuriasis) by using mass chemotherapy with appropriate combinations of broad-spectrum anthelminthics that are now available for oral administration in a single dose.
Stool samples were examined for consistency, presence of mucus, pus, blood, adult worms and their segments and
helminthic larvae.
Tuberculosis and intestinal
helminthic infections are prevalent in developing countries and when these diseases are endemic in the same regions associations have been reported.
The fundamental ecological concepts of
helminthic parasitism in general and especially of grazing animals is that every animal is infected and that contamination of the environment is continuous (Pachauri, 1981).
This study was performed in order to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal
helminthic infection among stray and pet dogs in Tabriz (center of East Azerbaijan province) and to emphasis the importance of this concept for public health and veterinary standpoint.
Strongyloides stercoralis is atypical in the
helminthic group undergoing auto-infection, where the parasite undergoes reproduction within human beings leading to infection lasting for ages.

helminthic zoonoses linked to captive exotic animals in zoologic gardens (ZGs) in China.
The incidence of protozoal and
helminthic infestations of the central nervous system (CNS) is less than 1%, but these infestations tend to follow a fatal course.1 The free-living amoebae Naeglaeria fowleri (NF) cause extremely rare and sporadic CNS infections termed as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM).2 It is an acute, fulminant, rapidly fatal disease that occurs generally in previously healthy children and young adults with a history of swimming and diving and other recreational activities in fresh water and contaminated swimming pools.3 The portal of entry is via the olfactory mucosa and neuroepithelium.
