The impact of COVID-19 on neglected parasitic diseases: what to expect?

Abstract
Here we highlight coinfections of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with ectoparasites, helminths, and protozoa, described in the literature, and the urgent need to understand the conditions of these associated pathologies. We emphasize the notion that such information is crucial for the continuity of measures that have been used for decades to control neglected parasitic diseases.
