| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the global impact, epidemiology, control strategies, and immune responses related to helminth infections, with a specific emphasis on schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths. The papers cover topics such as disease burden, neglected tropical diseases, immunomodulation by parasites, and the use of praziquantel for treatment. |
