Worm infestation (ascaris,
trichuris, and hookworm) that contributes to malnutrition and anemia is still widespread.

mansoni specific primers to amplify DNA of other co-occurring soil-transmitted helminths including
Trichuris trichiura, hookworm, and Ascaris lumbricoides.
The main cause of intestinal parasite infection is soil-borne worm called soil-transmitted helminths (STH), roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), whipworm (
Trichuris trichiura), and hookworm (Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus) [1-4].
The causative agents of zoonotic trichuriasis are
Trichuris vulpis and T.
'The great triumvirate of enteric nematodes are Ascaris lumbricoides, giant roundworm;
Trichuris trichiura, whipworm; and Enterobius vermicularis, pinworm.'
Segundo a mesma, cerca de 1,4 bilhoes de individuos encontram-se infectados por Ascaris lumbricoides, seguido com pouca diferenca por
Trichuris trichiura e pelos ancilostomideos, 77 milhoes por Taenia saginata, 10 milhoes por Taenia solium e 70 milhoes por Strongyloides stercoralis.
Segun estimados recientes, a nivel global hay aproximadamente 5.3 mil millones de personas en riesgo de contraer una o mas infecciones causadas por los geohelmintos mas comunes Ascaris lumbricoides,
Trichuris trichiura, y las uncinarias(tambien llamadas anquilostomideos) Necator americanus y Ancylostoma duodenale (1).
