About us
The eWHORM project brings together a multidisciplinary consortium of African and European research institutes, universities and not for-profit organisations to make a major impact on one of the most persistent public health challenges worldwide: worm infections (helminthiases).
Affecting approximately 1.5 billion people globally, worm infections are various conditions that include growth stunting, impaired memory and cognition, blindness, and severe dermatitis among their consequences. By further developing and testing more effective treatment options for different helminth species, eWHORM will contribute to enabling the World Health Organization's “Road Map for Neglected Tropical Diseases” (2021-2030).
