Article Synopsis
- Soil-transmitted helminthiases (STHs) thrive in the moist soils of southern Thailand, which complicates control efforts, particularly during rainy seasons and in the face of droughts caused by El Niño from 2014-2016.
- A longitudinal study from 2012 to 2016 involved treating infected participants with albendazole and assessing the impact of seasonal droughts on STH prevalence without additional treatments.
- Although STH prevalence was high despite dry season control efforts, a significant decline in trichuriasis was noted post-drought in 2016, while strongyloidiasis prevalence remained unchanged.
