Extract

Helminths are extremely numerous and cosmopolitan parasites of man and domesticated animals and they are responsible for considerable clinical and sub-clinical disease and tremendous economic loss. Thus, immunization against the parasitic helminths of man and animals would be of major health importance and to considerable economic advantage.
