Serological diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminth ( < i > Ascaris < /i > , < i > Trichuris < /i > and hookworm) infections: A scoping review

ConclusionsWhile a substantial number of assays are employed in epidemiological research, the current state of serological diagnosis for guiding STH prevention and control programs is limited. Only two assays designed for pigs are used to inform efficient deworming practices in pig populations. Regarding human diagnosis, none of the existing assays has undergone extensive large-scale validation or integration into routine diagnostics for MDA programs.
