Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) form one of the most important groups of

infectious agents and are the cause of serious global health problems. The most

important STHs are roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides), and whipworms (Trichuris

trichiura); on a global level, more than a billion people have been infected by at least one species of this group of pathogens.

How tetanus is transmitted?

Tetanus is caused by the bacteria called Clostridium tetani. Clostridium tetani is often found in soil, dust and animal waste. Tetanus is contracted through a cut or wound that becomes contaminated with Clostridium tetani bacteria. The bacteria can get in through even a tiny pinprick or scratch, but deep puncture wounds or cuts like those made by nails or knives are especially susceptible to infection with tetanus. Tetanus is not transmitted from person to person.
