Helminthology

Helminthology is a science that studies parasites called helminths (worms). Helminths can affect various organs and systems of the human body, causing various diseases. Helminthiases are common diseases in the world. They can be transmitted through contaminated water, food and contact with infected animals.

Helminthology deals with the study of the morphology, biology, ecology and epidemiology of helminths. She also studies methods for diagnosing, treating and preventing helminthiasis. One of the most common helminths is the broad tapeworm, which causes a disease called diphyllobothriasis.

Various medications are used to treat helminthiasis, such as anthelmintics and antiparasitics. However, it should be noted that self-medication for helminthiasis can be dangerous, so it is necessary to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

It is important to remember that helminthiasis is a preventable disease. To do this, you must follow the rules of hygiene, consume only clean water and food, and also avoid contact with animals that may be infected with helminths.
