Abstract
<p class="first" id="d17932299e166">Global migration from regions where strongyloidiasis
and schistosomiasis are endemic
to non-endemic countries has increased the potential individual and public health
effect of these parasitic diseases. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of these infections
among migrants to establish which groups are at highest risk and who could benefit
from screening.
