Number of Helminthic Units

The number of helminthic units (HU) is an important indicator that is used to assess the degree of helminth infection of a population. It represents the total number of helminths that were found in one group of people or animals.

PGE is calculated by counting the number of infestations in each person or animal in a given population. Infestations can be varied, including different types of helminths. For example, several types of helminths may be detected in one person at the same time.

It is important to note that PHE is not the only indicator of helminth infection. Other factors such as age, gender, lifestyle and diet must also be taken into account.

The use of PGE allows one to assess the degree of infection of a population and take measures to reduce it. For example, if PHE exceeds a certain threshold, this may indicate the need for preventive measures.

Thus, PHE is an important indicator that allows one to assess the degree of helminth infection in a population and take measures to reduce it.

The relevance of this article lies in the need to study the problem of the impact of helminths on human and animal health.

Helminths are parasitic worms that can infect various organs and systems of humans or animals.

There are approximately 200 million people worldwide who suffer from helminthiasis (worm infestation), which leads to serious illness and nutritional deficiencies. The most common types of helminths are roundworms (such as roundworms), tapeworms, and chainworms. Most people are unaware that they are infected with these infections because the disease may be asymptomatic or very mild for many years.

To assess the real scale of the problem, an indicator is used - the number of helminth units (NHE). This indicator allows you to determine the degree of helminth infection in a given population. This is important when assessing the epidemiological situation, choosing the right prevention and treatment strategy, establishing the extent of agricultural losses and other areas.
