A worm-free world: defeating parasitic helminths via global integrated control

我的研究目标是征服全球寄生虫感染。这些寄生虫造成严重疾病，影响最贫穷的人。对受感染者进行药物治疗的项目既不有效也不可持续。我的研究表明，需要采取其他策略，如疫苗接种和健康教育。我的目标是在不同的环境中开发和现场测试一种干预组合，从而长期控制和消除这些古老的人类寄生虫。

My research goal is to conquer parasitic worm infestations globally. These parasites cause substantial illness and affect the poorest people. Programs that drug-treat infected individuals are neither effective nor sustainable. My research has shown additional strategies, such as vaccination and health education, are needed. My goal is to develop and field test a combination of interventions in different settings leading to long-term control and elimination of these ancient human scourges.
