Implication

Narrative review reveals persistent health disparities in vulnerable populations, highlighting the combined impact of structural racism and parasitic infections.

Key Points

  • To review the epidemiology and control mechanisms of nonreplicating helminth infections alongside the socio-structural factors that drive persistent health inequities.
  • Narrative synthesis evaluating literature on parasitic helminth transmission, host biology, and disease control strategies.
  • Analysis of public health evidence linking structural racism and social determinants to persistent health disparities.
  • Evidence demonstrates growing documentation of systemic racial and ethnic inequities directly contributing to unequal burdens of infectious and chronic illness.
  • Control of nonreplicating infectious agents requires addressing both biological transmission dynamics and underlying structural inequities in healthcare access.
