The prevalence of intestinal parasites is the highest among children that are living in the poorest communities in developing nations. [1] The most common causes of intestinal parasites are through consumption of contaminated water, infected soil, inadequate sanitation and hygiene, and improper hygiene. [3]
Schistosomiasis is spread by contact with fresh water contaminated with parasites. [5] These parasites are released from infected freshwater snails. [5] The disease is especially common among children in underdeveloped and developing countries because they are more likely to play in contaminated water. [5]

The mammoth wasp is found in Mediterranean type habitats such as oak forests, maquis and garrigue.It can only occur where its prey, the European rhinoceros beetle Oryctes nasicornis, is found too and in Russia it has been noted that it is commonest around human habitation where manure piles, sawmills and compost heaps provide habitat for its prey.
Scolia was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775. This genus is classified under the tribe Scoliini of the subfamily Scoliinae within the family Scoliidae. [2] Scolia is itself divided into three subgenera, Scolia (Scolia), and Scolia (Discolia), and Scolia (Hesperoscolia). [3]
They are so called because they have a direct life cycle which requires no intermediate hosts or vectors, and the parasitic infection occurs through faecal contamination of soil, foodstuffs and water supplies. The adult forms are essentially parasites of humans, causing soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH), but also infect domesticated mammals.
