Effects of geohelminth infection, parasite species and parasite burden on primary outcomes.
Geohelminth infections to 13 months, 2 and 3 years of age were not significantly associated with primary outcomes (supplementary Table 2). Maternal geohelminth parasite species or parasite burden were not associated with primary outcomes (Table 3). The presence of any T. trichiura infection within the first 5 years of life was associated with a reduced prevalence of wheeze (adj. OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.35-0.94, P=0.029), while moderate to heavy parasite burdens with A. lumbricoides at 5 years were associated with an increased risk of wheeze (adj. OR 2.83, 95% CI 1.13-7.13, P=0.027) and asthma (adj. OR 2.60, 95% CI 1.13-6.00, P=0.025).
