Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis
complex (MTC), is an important disease in both human and animal systems.
Helminths are commonly found in coinfection with MTC and TB is often
exacerbated in such coinfections. Long-term anthelmintic administration, to
control helminths, can improve a host’s ability to control MTC infection. Mass
drug administration programmes, in which anthelmintics are given only once or
twice a year, leaving periods where helminth reinfection can occur, are common
in both human and domestic animal populations. To date, the effect of such
intermittent control programmes on MTC infection and severity has not been
explored.
