Global prevalence of Ascaris infection in humans (2010 –2021): a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsOur findings indicate that, despite a renewed commitment by some communities or authorities to control ascariasis, a substantial portion of the world ’s human population (> 0.7 billion) is infected withAscaris. Despite the clinical and socioeconomic importance of ascariasis, many past routine surveys did not assess the intensity ofAscaris infection in people. We propose that the present findings might stimulate the development of customised strategies for the improved control and prevention ofAscaris infection worldwide.

Aqueous extract of Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) R. Br. (Fabaceae) exerts antiepileptogenic, anti-amnesic, and anxiolytic-like effects in mice via mechanisms involving antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways
Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) R. Br. (Fabaceae) is a widely distributed tree, used in traditional medicine to treat amebiasis, hookworm infection, ascariasis, asthma, sterility, dental pain, headaches, cardiac disorders, and epilepsy. To date, no study on the effect of an aqueous extract of P. biglobosa on epileptogenesis and associated neuropsychiatric disorders has been undertaken. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate antiepileptogenic-, antiamnesic-, and anxiolytic-like effects of an aqueous extract of P. biglobosa using pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced kindling in mice. Animals were divided into six groups of eight mi...
