INTRODUCTION
When God created humans, He also created microorganisms and parasites are expressing their dominion by influencing severe harm on humans. This is clear because they have been around since bible times causing all kinds of ailments and even today they have advanced and upgraded their pathological activities. These parasites are often described as Endemic Diseases of Poverty (EDP) because they reside and torment people who are economically poor. They also belong to the category of microorganisms termed as Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) because the tropics host a group of contries which are resource poor in line with the earlier description “Endemic Diseases of Poverty”. Over all a more specific term for them is Soil Transmitted Helminthes (STH) because the parasites are helminthes differentiating them from other parasites such as protozoans and they reside primarily in the soil where their eggs are well deposited and distributed especially among communities where livestock are reared and open defecation is commonly practiced (Tolera and Dufera, 2020; Funso-Aina et al., 2020).
The damage of STH is gross and so many people have died (A. lumbricoides caused 2,824 deaths in 2010) due to the infection and compared to morbidity or people living or carrying the parasites (3.3 million estimated years lived), the world is still in trouble. Economically due to the health costs of managing the infection and the effects of the disease (disability adjusted life years) which in children is observed as weight loss, anemia, cognitive decline, reduced body weight among others. In adults, this presents as reduced effectiveness and performance at work. Generally, irritation and discomfort plagues carriers of these parasites (Teklemariam and Abebe, 2019; Nkouayep et al., 2020; Tolera and Dufera, 2020; Funso-Aina et al., 2020; Quiroz et al., 2020).
