Global numbers of infection and disease burden of soil transmitted helminth infections in 2010 (2014, background): “It is widely acknowledged that the exact global numbers infected and experiencing morbidity attributable to STH infection will remain an elusive goal, due in part to a paucity of reliable and accurate epidemiological data and in part the non-specificity of clinical signs due to STH [7,8,30,58].”
Incorporating a Rapid-Impact Package for Neglected Tropical Diseases with Programs for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (2006, background): “], particularly among the very poorest populations [”
Sanitation and Health (2010, background): “Soil-transmitted helminths such as the large human roundworm, the human whipworm, and the human hookworms cause many millions of infections every year and many individuals are infected with more than one of these geohelminths [26].”
Soil “Ecosystem” Services and Natural Capital: Critical Appraisal of Research on Uncertain Ground (2016, background): “However, other nefarious effects of soils, for example on human populations (Oliver, 1997; Schenker, 2000; de Silva et al., 2003; Herrmann, 2006; Pepper et al., 2009; Steinnes, 2009; Bardgett and van der Putten, 2014), are far less recognized.”
