Biocontrol for environmental control of the human parasite, Strongyloides stercoralis: A necessary next step

2016-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Strongyloides stercoralis is a human parasitic nematode that infects 100–370million people globally; prevalence comparable to malaria. Currently the primary treatment for strongyloidiasis is the anthelminthic drug, ivermectin. The ruminant variant of S. stercoralis (Strongyloides papillosus) has been shown to be resistant to ivermectin. Efforts to control S. stercoralis therefore must extend beyond clinical treatm...
