Helminthiases represent a significant global health threat as widely prevalent parasitic diseases. This article examines the primary species of helminths inhabiting the human body, focusing on their morphological characteristics and pathogenic impact. A comprehensive understanding of the complex life cycles of each helminth is crucial for identifying infection sources and regulating transmission mechanisms. Furthermore, the study provides a detailed analysis of effective preventive measures aimed at mitigating helminthiases, including personal hygiene practices, sanitary-epidemiological surveillance, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles among the population.
