Abstract
Repeated mass drug administration (MDA) of antihelminthics to at-risk populations is still the main strategy for
the control of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections. However, MDA, as a stand-alone intervention, does not prevent
reinfection. Accordingly, complementary measures to prevent STH reinfection, such as health education and improved sanitation,
as part of an integrated control approach, are required to augment the effectiveness of MDA for optimal efficiency and
sustainability
