A population genetic analysis of the nematode <i>Strongyloides stercoralis</i> in Asia shows that human infection is not a zoonosis from dogs

2024-12-03

Abstract excerpt

Gut nematode worms are important parasites of people and other animals. The parasitic nematode Strongyloides stercoralis infects an estimated 600 million people worldwide, and is one of the soil-transmitted helminthiases, a WHO-defined neglected tropical disease. It has long been suggested that human S. stercoralis infection may be a zoonosis from dogs. We investigated this by whole genome sequence analysis of...
