Status of medical parasitology in South Africa: new challenges and missed opportunities.

Zilungile L Mkhize-Kwitshana1, Musawenkosi H L Mabaso.   

Abstract

In South Africa medical parasitology is neglected due to a shift in funding priorities to focus on HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. Evidence suggests that helminth infections have deleterious effects on HIV and tuberculosis. A multisectoral approach involving key government and research institutions is required to rekindle interest in medical parasitology.
