Helminthic Infection and Anthelmintic Drugs: Synthetic and Herbal Approaches
Geetartha Saikia
Abstract: Helminthic infections affect billions of people worldwide, predominantly in tropical and subtropical regions. These infections, caused by parasitic worms, pose significant public health challenges, particularly in developing countries. This review provides a comprehensive overview of helminthic infections and explores both synthetic and herbal anthelmintic treatments. We highlight the mechanisms of action, efficacy, and potential side effects of synthetic drugs, while also examining the emerging role of herbal remedies in combating helminthiasis. The review aims to compare the effectiveness of these treatments and suggest future research directions in the quest for safer and more efficient anthelmintic therapies.
