  • Abstract
    Traditional screening techniques and mass screening model of soil-transmitted helminths pose certain challenges to the eradication of infection within a population. The sereening technique proposed in Ihis paper overcomes these challenges by offering Traditional screening techniques and mass screening model of soil-transmitted helminths pose certain challenges to the eradication of infection within a population. The screening technique proposed in Ihis paper overcomes these challenges by offering high throughput screening allow costs.high throughput screening allow costs.
