Comparison of individual and pooled stool samples for the assessment of soil-transmitted helminth infection intensity and drug efficacy.

BACKGROUND: In veterinary parasitology samples are often pooled for a rapid assessment of infection intensity and drug efficacy. Currently, studies evaluating this strategy in large-scale drug administration programs to control human soil-transmitted helminths (STHs; Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris...
