The roundworms that make up the Strongylidae family of parasitic nematodes are members of the genus Oesophagostomum. These worms can be found in Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, Africa, and China. Human infections caused by Oesophagostomum are most common in Ghana and northern Togo. Because the eggs of the species that cause human helminthomas may be indistinguishable from those of hookworms, which are common but rarely cause helminthomas, it is difficult to accurately identify the species that cause human helminthomas. Oesophagostomum, especially O. bifurcum, is a common parasite that lives in livestock and non-human primates like humans, pigs, and goats. Despite the fact that the pathways through which humans become infected have not been sufficiently elucidated, it is generally accepted that infected individuals consume soil containing the infectious filariform larvae without realizing it. Oesophagostomum infection is a serious problem for public health that mostly affects northern Togo and Ghana in western Africa. Due to its localization, there has been a dearth of research on effective public health interventions and intervention strategies.
