Not by drugs alone: the fight against parasitic helminths.

A C Evans1, L S Stephenson.   

Abstract

With particular reference to parts of eastern and southern Africa the authors outline the dire effects of parasitic worms on people in the tropics and subtropics. Helminth infections can be controlled with drugs but in the long term a more comprehensive approach is required, dealing with poverty, health care and education, living conditions, sanitation and water supplies.
