Controlling helminth infections is a priority, but economic evaluations face challenges. More data on helminth-related illness is needed for cost-effective strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Economics
  • Infectious Disease Control

Background:

  • Economic evaluations of helminth control are crucial given resource scarcity.
  • Previous studies have attempted to address affordability and cost-effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the economic literature on helminth control.
  • To identify challenges and impediments in current economic analyses.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent economic studies on helminth control.
  • Analysis of the methodologies and findings within the reviewed literature.

Main Results:

  • Attempts to answer key economic questions (priority, affordability, cost-effectiveness) have been partially unsuccessful.

  • Inadequate understanding of helminth-associated morbidity is a major obstacle.
  • Limitations in economic techniques and focus on inappropriate issues also hinder progress.

    • Conclusions:

    • Precise data on helminth morbidity is essential for effective economic evaluations.
    • Further development of economic methodologies is required.
    • A clearer understanding of the economic burden of helminths is needed to inform control strategies.
