bind to B-tubulin, disrupt microtuuble polymerization
A. lumbricoides benzmidazoles adverse
pegastirc pain ehadahce, diarreha. minimized by taking table aftter meal

> 20% prevalence = mas drug admiinstration Garantisadong Pamabata targets 85%

children elss than 1 year old, pregnant in first trimester
A. lumbricoides epidemi factors
high human densitiy, agricultural practices, illtieracy, poor sanitation
