This is a text on mortality rates in the DRC and their causes. Does this relate to 'worms'? Is there a more specific way of saying it? Have drawn a blank in my medical resources. Help please! Thanks :)

Sue's comment more...correct, as...helminthiasis, but other parasites...schistosomiasis...etc.

Dr Sue Levy (X) Jan 4, 2005:
Elena is right - the correct English term is helminthiasis rather than verminosis.
Josephine Billet Jan 4, 2005:
Is there any more context - as this is usually used as an adjective as far as I know to define a type of disease....
