Nodule worm infection in humans and wild primates in Uganda: cryptic species in a newly identified region of human transmission.
Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are a major health concern in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Oesophagostomum infection is considered endemic to West Africa but has also been identified in Uganda, East Africa, among primates (including humans). However, the taxonomy and ecology of Oesophagost...
