Vol. 4 No. 7 (2024): Евразийский журнал медицинских и естественных наук 26-29
Abstract
Parasitic helminths are a group of parasitic worms that can infect humans and animals, causing various diseases. These helminths include roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes. Studying morphological features in preschool children is important for early detection and treatment of parasitic infections. The physical characteristics of these parasites can help healthcare providers identify the type of infection and determine appropriate treatment options. The objectives of this article are to discuss the morphological features of common parasitic helminths that infect preschool children, highlight the importance of studying these features in diagnosis and treatment.
