Researchers develop mango-flavored pill that could treat intestinal worms in 1.5 billion globally.

Researchers have developed a promising mango-flavored pill combining two anti-parasitic drugs that could effectively treat intestinal worms affecting about 1.5 billion people globally. The pill showed positive results in a clinical trial involving over a thousand children in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Mozambique, though further trials with 20,000 participants are planned to confirm its effectiveness across different age groups and regions. The treatment could help countries meet WHO goals to eliminate these diseases.
