The effectiveness, feasibility and economic evaluation of canine deworming programs in reducing the prevalence and intensities of zoonotic hookworm and Strongyloides infections in Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia
This project aims to ascertain the epidemiology and population genetics of zoonotic soil-transmitted helminth infections in dogs (and where possible humans), in Torres Strait Islander communities and to establish the necessity, feasibility, cost effectiveness and impact of a One Health approach for their control.
