ConclusionsThis work responds to the pressing need to address the STH diagnostic issues put forward by the WHO Diagnostic Technical Advisory Group [8]. The data presented here contributes to the search for a new programmatic standard to support STH control. The lack of a gold standard for diagnosing T. trichiura and other STH infections poses a significant challenge in searching for a method that outperforms the traditional microscopy-based K-K.

BACKGROUND: Soil-transmitted helminths infect an estimated 18% of the world's population, causing a significant health burden. Microscopy has been the primary tool for diagnosing eggs from fecal samples, but its sensitivity drops in low-prevalence settings. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is slowly increasing in research and clinical settings. However, there is still no consensus on preferred qPCR targets.
