Roundworm, Tapeworm, Hookworm to mention only a few. Hence the WHO recommends deworming of children who live in endemic areas:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Once a year when the prevalence of soil-transmitted parasitic worms in the community is over 20%</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Twice a year when the prevalence of soil-transmitted parasitic worms in the community is 50%</li> </ul>People at risk are mostly school age children (including preschoolers) and also females of reproductive age and some occupations.Usually treated with anti-parasitic drugs like Albendazole Mebendazole (Vermox) and sometimes Ivermectin for the control of S. stercoralis.</blockquote>
