DEWORM3

DeWorm3 is a global project consisting of partners around the world working together towards a common goal of interrupting the transmission of soil-transmitted helminths (STH). From 2015-2020, the Natural History Museum, London (NHM), a world leader in the research of STH and Neglected Tropical Diseases, hosted the project and coordinated this global effort to establish the evidence necessary for informing global implementation guidelines in countries aiming to eliminate STH... 1.5 billion people worldwide are affected by intestinal parasitic worms known as soil-transmitted helminths. DeWorm3 is a research study that is developing and testing effective strategies to interrupt the transmission of parasitic worms on a large scale... We make scientific discoveries, cultivate leaders, and bridge disciplines to advance the tightly connected health and well-being of women, adolescents, and children.
