Prevalence, associated risk factors and satellite imagery analysis in predicting soil-transmitted helminth infection in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand.
Scientific reports
Aug 4, 2025
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a significant public health concern in rural areas, often leading to nutritional and physical impairment, particularly in children. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of ...
Deep learning-based automated detection and multiclass classification of soil-transmitted helminths and Schistosoma mansoni eggs in fecal smear images.
Scientific reports
Jul 1, 2025
In this work, we developed an automated system for the detection and classification of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and Schistosoma (S.) mansoni eggs in microscopic images of fecal smears. We assembled an STH and S. mansoni dataset comprising ove...
AI-supported versus manual microscopy of Kato-Katz smears for diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminth infections in a primary healthcare setting.
Scientific reports
Jun 27, 2025
Soil-transmitted helminths primarily comprise Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms, infecting more than 600 million people globally, particularly in underserved communities. Manual microscopy of Kato-Katz thick smears is a widely ...
A comprehensive evaluation of an artificial intelligence based digital pathology to monitor large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminths: A study protocol.
PloS one
Oct 28, 2024
BACKGROUND: Manual screening of a Kato-Katz (KK) thick stool smear remains the current standard to monitor the impact of large-scale deworming programs against soil-transmitted helminths (STHs). To improve this diagnostic standard, we recently design...
Artificial intelligence-based digital pathology for the detection and quantification of soil-transmitted helminths eggs.
PLoS neglected tropical diseases
Sep 30, 2024
BACKGROUND: Conventional microscopy of Kato-Katz (KK1.0) thick smears, the primary method for diagnosing soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, has limited sensitivity and is error-prone. Artificial intelligence-based digital pathology (AI-DP) m...
Harnessing artificial intelligence microscopy to improve diagnostics for soil-transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis: a review of recent advances and future pathways.
Current opinion in infectious diseases
Aug 2, 2024
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This opinion piece aims to explore the transformative potential of integrating artificial intelligence with digital microscopy to enhance diagnostics for soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) and schistosomiasis (SCH), two pervasive...
Intestinal helminth infections amongst HIV-infected adults in Mthatha General Hospital, South Africa.
African journal of primary health care & family medicine
Dec 9, 2015
BACKGROUND: In South Africa, studies on the prevalence of intestinal helminth co-infection amongst HIV-infected patients as well as possible interactions between these two infection sare limited.
