Scientists seek clues to why some get sick from parasitic worms

This study looks at how people's immune systems react to infections from parasitic worms, which can cause serious health problems like swelling, blindness, or heart disease. Researchers will evaluate and treat up to 500 participants aged 3 to 100 using standard medical tests and treatments. The goal is to learn why some people get infected, why some develop severe disease, and how they respond to treatment.
