Helminthozoonoses are a group of diseases caused by helminths and transmitted to humans through contact with animals or animal products. These diseases can be very dangerous to a person's health and can lead to serious consequences such as anemia, weight loss, liver dysfunction and other serious diseases.
People of all ages can become infected with helminthiasis, but children and the elderly are especially susceptible to them. Infection can occur through contact with animals that are carriers of helminths, or through consumption of meat and other animal products containing helminth larvae.
One of the most common helminthiases is ascariasis, caused by roundworms. Roundworms can be found in the human intestines, causing discomfort and abdominal pain, and can also lead to intestinal dysfunction and other serious diseases.
Another common helminthiasis is opisthorchiasis, caused by opisthorchiasis. Opisthorchides live in the human bile ducts and cause liver pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
To prevent helminthiasis, it is necessary to follow the rules of hygiene, do not eat unwashed fruits and vegetables, cook meat and fish thoroughly, and also avoid contact with animals that may have helminths. If you suspect that you or your child may have heartworm, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
