Helminths are parasitic worms that infect humans, causing a range of health issues. These worms are categorized into three main groups: nematodes (roundworms), cestodes (tapeworms), and trematodes (flukes). Each type of helminth affects the body differently and has unique transmission routes.

Nematodes, such as Ascaris lumbricoides (giant roundworm) and Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm), primarily infect the intestines and are transmitted through contaminated food, water, or soil. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, itching, and digestive issues.

Cestodes, like Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm) and Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), are flat, segmented worms that attach to the intestines. They can cause malnutrition, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Transmission usually occurs through consuming undercooked meat. Fenbendazole 444Mg is use for Helminths.

Trematodes, including Schistosoma species (blood flukes) and Fasciola hepatica (liver fluke), infect various organs like the liver and blood vessels. They often require intermediate hosts, such as snails, to complete their life cycle. Symptoms can range from digestive disturbances to severe liver damage.

Diagnosis typically involves stool tests, blood tests, or imaging. Treatment usually includes Antiparasitic medications and improving sanitation practices. Preventing helminth infections involves proper hygiene, safe food practices, and avoiding contact with contaminated environments.
