Special Review : Worms and Public HealthHundreds of millions of persons, in all parts of the world, are infected with parasitic helminths, worms. Most of those which invade man spend a portion of their life cycle in the soil and infect man from there.A meeting of a WHO Expert Committee on Helminthiases was held in Rio de Janeiro in August 1963. This was the first major international attempt to deal with the soil-trans mitted helminthiases as a single group of diseases and to survey what is known about them. Some highlights from the Report of this Committee, published a few months ago, may be looked upon as a practical refresher for our North American readers.
