Abstract
Intestinal parasitic and protozoan infections are widely spread around the world. Approximately 3.5 billion people are infected, and 450 million are symptomatic for these parasitoses, the majority being children [1]. Mixed infections with various par- asites are frequent, and their harmful potential is enhanced by concurrent micronutrient deficiencies or insufficient food intake [1].
