Abstract
Background: The soil-dwelling nematode Strongyloides stercoralis is one of the most underestimated and neglected parasites in the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) group. All available data were systematically reviewed and summarized to better understand the problem's magnitude and estimate the total number of Strongyloidiasis cases in humans at best and worst.
