4. INTRODUCTION
• Deworming (sometimes known as worming, drenching or dehelmintization)is the
giving of an anthelminticdrug (a wormer, dewormer, or drench) to a human or animals
to rid them of helminths parasites, such as roundworm, flukes and tapeworm. Purge
dewormers for use in livestock can be formulated as a feed supplement that is eaten, a
paste or gel that is deposited at the back of the animal's mouth, a liquid drench given
orally, an injectable, or as a pour-on which can be applied to the animal's topline.
In dogs and cats, purge dewormers come in many forms includinga granular form to be
added to food, pill form, chew tablets, and liquid suspensions.

5. PREVALENCE
• India, 225 million preschool and school-age children are estimated to be at risk of infection from worms. India
accounts for 65% of soil-transmitted helminth (parasitic worms) cases in South East Asia, and 27% of cases
globally.
• In recent years, India has scaled up its national deworming programme, through which almost 250 million
children are dewormed twice a year in February and August. This is the largest school-based deworming
programme globally, and CIFF(children’s investment found foundation) is working with Evidence Action to
support the programme. Our three core objectives in India are to:
• Institutionalised National Deworming Day (NDD) across the country
• Build the capacity of State Governments to execute and assess programme impact through coverage and
prevalence survey
• Work with Government to develop the road map for transmission break (stopping the transmission of disease
from person-to-person)

14. WHIPWORM
• What is whipworm? Whipworm
(Trichuris trichiura) is an intestinal
parasite of humans.
• The larvae and adult worms live in the
intestine of humans and can cause
intestinal disease.
• The name comes from the worm's whip-
like shape.

15. CAUSES
• Whipworm infection is caused by ingesting eggs.
• This can happen when hands or fingers that have contaminated dirt on them are put in
the mouth or by consuming vegetables or fruits that have not been carefully cooked,
washed or peeled.
• Peopleinfected with whipworm can suffer light or heavy infections.

16. • peoplewith heavy infections can
experience frequent,
• painful bowel movements that
contain a mixture of mucus, water,
and blood.

17. TREATMENT
• Whipworm is effectively treated
with albendazole, mebendazoleor
ivermectin. Each drug needs to be taken
for 3 days.
• Dosage guidelines are the same for
children as for adults.

18. DEFINE HOOKWORM

19. CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS
• Children are at high risk to being infected
by hookwormsince they play with soil
with their bare hands and walk with bare
foot.
• This parasite affects the red blood cells
(RBCs) in one or anotherway and
causes anemia especially in children.

20. DIAGNOSIS
• Standard method for diagnosing the presence of
hookwormis by identifying hookwormeggs in a stool
sample using a microscope.
• Because eggs may be difficult to find in light
infections, a concentrationprocedure is
recommended.
• For HealthcareProviders, Emergency Consultations,
and General Public.

21. TREATMENT
• Anthelminthic medications (drugs that rid the
body of parasitic worms), such as albendazole
and mebendazole, are the drugs of choice for
treatment of hookworm infections.
• Infections are generally treated for 1-3 days.
The recommended medications are effective
and appear to have few side effects.

23. TAPEWORM

24. DEFINE AND CAUSES
• A tapewormis a parasite that can live
and feed in human intestines. This is
called a tapeworminfection.
• A young and inactive form of the
tapewormis called a larval cyst. It can
stay alive in otherparts of the body. This
is called a larval cyst infection.
• Tapeworm infections are treated with
anti-parasiticdrugs.
• A tapewormin the intestines often causes
mild symptoms. Moderateto severe
symptoms may includestomach pain and
diarrhea.
• Larval cysts can cause serious disease if
they are in a person's brain, liver, lungs,
heart or eyes.

32. CONTROL OF PARASITES

35. CONCLUSION
• The most of study reveals high prevalence of intestinal helminths in our subject
population and calls for immediate control measures, includingpreventive
chemotherapyand treatment of entire 'at risk' populationand improvement of their
living conditionsincludingprovision of potablewater
