    These results highlight the need for the promotion of access to clean water, improved sanitation and better hygiene, thus reducing the frequency of preventive chemotherapy for STHs while continuing to monitor the population for possible recrudescence.

    Seroepidemiological trend of strongyloidiasis in the Bolivian Chaco (1987–2013) in the absence of disease‐specific control measures
    (Wiley, 2017) Michele Spinicci; Fabio Macchioni; Antonia Mantella; Simona Gabrielli; Mimmo Roselli; David Rojo Mayaregua; Joaquín Monasterio Pinckert; Herlan Gamboa Barahona; Grover Adolfo Paredes; Percy Halkyer
    The significant reduction in S. stercoralis seroprevalence in Bolivian Chaco cannot be explained by preventive chemotherapy or improved social-sanitary conditions. As the drop is seen in younger generations, it is consistent with little transmission occurring. However, the risk of transmission still exists, as prevalence is persistently high in older individuals, who present a potential reservoir due to the lifelong nature of S. stercoralis infections.
