Description : Parasitic worm infections, also known as helminth infections, are caused by various types of parasitic worms that can infect humans and animals. These worms include roundworms (nematodes), tapeworms (cestodes), and flukes (trematodes). These parasites typically enter the body through ingestion of contaminated food or water, penetration of the skin, or through insect bites. Once inside the body, they can reside in various organs such as the intestines, liver, lungs, or blood vessels, causing a range of symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhea, anemia, fatigue, and weight loss. Treatment for parasitic worm infections often involves medications such as anthelmintic, like fenbendazole, which are designed to kill or expel the parasites from the body.
