Public health workers and parasitologists have long been interested in estimating numbers infected with particular parasite species. Recent changes in social and economic conditions, in addition to implementation of control in some regions of the world, have changed the global picture of soil-transmitted helminth infections. This article brings global estimates up to date, reveals some interesting new trends and discusses the future for control.
