 | | For the majority of endemic areas a broad-spectrum drug is preferable, since whipworm infection is ubiquitous and only effectively treated by broad-spectrum anthelminthics. | | | Thus, it is impossible to attribute any one of these conditions directly to worm infection by observation; carefully constructed intervention studies are necessary. | | | Rapid assessment procedures for intestinal helminth morbidity currently do not exist. |

| | While the empirical basis for evaluating the impact of health conditions on education is still fragmentary and in some cases inconsistent, there is already sufficient evidence to conclude that, overall, illness, malnutrition, and other health-related problems are probably important determinants of both school participation and school achievement. | | | While it is useful to have a general sense of the conditions potentially important for school-age children, these conditions will vary enormously from region to region within a country and even more so across countries. | | | At the moment, the strongest linkages that have been established are negative effects of hookworm on cognitive function and of Guinea worm on attendance. |

| | Also some cercaria of non-human infecting schistosomes (where the condition is known as cercarial dermatitis) have short lived migrations through the skin before they die. | | | Some larval helminths may cause both conditions in paratenic hosts, such as is the case with plerocercoids of Pseudophyllidean Cestodes such as Spirometra,, where the condition is known as sparganosis. | | | As has been said above, larval helminth infections in their intermediate hosts may also be important disease organisms, for example hydatid disease in man and domesticated animals (caused by Echinococcus granulosus infection), or hyper infections of Trichinella spiralis L3 larvae in their host's muscle tissues. |

| | The paucity of information on intraspecific variation stands in contrast to the fine detail with which helminth species have been delineated by morphological techniques, accentuating a trend towards considering laboratory strains as representative of a relatively invariant organism. | | | We review the arena of intraspecific variation for the major helminth parasites, ranging from biological properties such as host or vector preference, to biochemical and immunological characteristics, as well as molecular markers such as DNA sequence variants. | | | There are strong biological, evolutionary and immunological arguments for predicting extensive polymorphism among helminth parasites, but relatively little data and few instances from which the selective forces acting on parasite diversity can be discerned. |

| | It would be interesting to define and -characterize particular helminth molecules that have -profound immunomodulatory capacities as a target for -therapeutic application in the treatment or prophylaxis of allergic manifestations. | | | A popular explanation is that the increased prevalence in allergy is due to a diminished or altered exposure to gut-dwelling microbes, resulting in a disordered immunoregulation. | | | Detailed analysis of helminth-induced immune responses showed that helminths not only prime for polarized Th2 responses but also potently induce T-cell hyporesponsiveness. |

| | The helminth communities of five sympatric species of nearctic shorebirds. |
| | The study is believed to be the first of its kind. | | | The data re-emphasise the importance of ecological factors, diet in particular, in the structure of helminth communities of shorebirds, and provide evidence that helminth communities are responsive to reproductive and migratory stresses regardless of differences that may arise between host populations. | | | The consistency with which communities changed from season to season constitutes strong evidence for a predictable pattern of seasonal variation in shorebirds, especially those species that make extensive use of staging areas. |
