Schistosomiasis is a major neglected tropical disease (NTD) affecting both humans and animals. The morbidity and mortality inflicted upon livestock in the Afrotropical region has been largely overlooked, in part due to a lack of validated sensitive a...

Systematic review to evaluate a potential association between helminth infection and physical stunting in children (2022)
Journal Article
Raj, E., Calvo-Urbano, B., Heffernan, C., Halder, J., & Webster, J. (2022). Systematic review to evaluate a potential association between helminth infection and physical stunting in children. Parasites and Vectors, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-022-05235-5

Background: Despite considerable public health efforts over the past 20 years, childhood stunting (physical and/or cognitive) levels globally remain unacceptably high-at 22% amongst children under 5 years old in 2020. The aetiology of stunting is com... Read More about Systematic review to evaluate a potential association between helminth infection and physical stunting in children.
