Name
Strongyloidiasis
Description
Strongyloidiasis is an intestinal parasite infection caused by soil-transmitted helminths of the genus Strongyloides. The disease occurs worldwide, but especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Most patients are asymptomatic, but the ability of this nematode to replicate in the human host leads to persistent infections and can result in chronic disease.
