Nonprofit drug developer OneWorld Health will work with the Jharkhand State Department of Health in India to reduce infections caused by a parasitic worm.
Soil-transmitted helminths, or STHs, attack the gastrointestinal track and can cause severe blood and vitamin deficiencies. An estimated 2 billion people globally have active infections at any given time, according to South San Francisco-based OneWorld, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea, weakness and, in some cases, chronic intestinal blood loss that leads to anemia.
