Towards improved monitoring of human soil-transmitted helminthiases by serology: Translating a proven veterinary diagnostic test to human medicine

In pigs, we showed that serology has a clear added value in the detection of soil-transmitted helminths and estimating the impact of infections in these animals. In this project, we want to evaluate whether our serological test also provide additional insights into the epidemiology of soil-transmitted helminth infections in humans and whether it can be used to monitor deworming programs.
