"Soil-transmitted helminthiases affect 1.5 billion people, yet no new anthelminthic drugs have been developed in the past decades. Our recent work developing drug combinations and the veterinary drug emodepside brings us one step closer to making a difference in the lives of the many people affected by these parasitic worm infections."
Prof. Jennifer Keiser
Head of the Helminth Drug Development Unit at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) and Professor of Neglected Tropical Diseases at the University of Basel gave the keynote lecture on "New therapeutic approaches for helmiths infections".
