Helminth infections remain a pervasive global health challenge, affecting over one billion individuals worldwide. Despite their significant impact on human health, there are still substantial knowledge gaps in our understanding, especially concerning helminth infection, host-helminth interaction, diagnosis and prevention.

This Methods Collection aims to demonstrate standardized protocols for current methods in helminth biology and to make these techniques more accessible to researchers in this field. The protocols will be presented in a video format, aiding researchers, physicians, public health experts, and policymakers.

The collection will cover the latest discoveries in isolation and identification of different species (microscopic/molecular techniques), host-parasite interactions, in vitro and in-vivo assays, and animal models. Furthermore, the collection will include protocols for novel diagnostic procedures based on different body fluids, such as serum, CSF, saliva, and urine, as well as their implementation in resource-limited settings.
