Estimated need for anthelminthic medicines to control soil-transmitted helminthiases in school-aged children, 2020 –2030

ConclusionsThe number of anthelmintic medicines needed to achieve elimination of morbidity due to STH in school-aged children will decline during 2020 –2030. The decline will be substantial if a number of “upper-middle income” countries in which STH are endemic procure, as expected, anthelminthic medicines independently.
