AB  - The  word  helminth  is  derived  from  the  Greek  helmins  (“parasitic  worm”).  Helminthic  worms  are  highly  prevalent  and,  depending  on  the  species,  may  exist  as  free-living  organisms  or  as  parasites  of  plant  or  animal  hosts.  The  parasitic  helminths  have  co-evolved  with  specific  mammalian  and  other  host  species.  Accordingly,  most  helminthic  infections  are  restricted  to  nonhuman  hosts,  and  only  rarely  do  these  zoonotic  helminths  accidentally  cause  human  infections.
