The major soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, ascariasis, trichuriasis, and hookworm infection, together with schistosomiasis, occur in an estimated 2 billion people in the developing countries (de Silva et al., 2003; Hotez et al., 2006). It has been suggested that the STHs and schistosomes are among the most common human pathogens, and it is not unusual for a single individual, especially a child, to harbor several different species at the same time. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), these infections account for more than 40% of the disease burden due to tropical diseases, exclusive of malaria (WHO, 2002a).
