Helminth Control

Helminth control involves measures to prevent and treat infections caused by parasitic worms, such as roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes. These worms can affect human health and livestock, leading to nutritional deficiencies and disease. Control strategies include regular medication (anthelmintics), improved sanitation, safe water, and education about hygiene practices. For livestock, rotational grazing and proper waste management are important. Effective helminth control reduces health problems, enhances productivity, and minimizes parasite transmission within communities and farms.
