The authors critically consider the feasibility of the elimination of soil-transmitted helminthiases as the public health problem within the framework of recently established WHO programme "Neglected tropical diseases". This objective proposed by the programme seems to be rather questionable due to practically complete lack of use so called sanitary and helmintological approach, which has been successfully and effectively utilized in our country in control of ascariasis and trichocephaliasis. The weakest link in achieving this ambitious goal is the almost complete disregard for health helminthology approaches, the importance and high effectiveness of which has been demonstrated in the our country in the processs of the ascariasis and trichuriasis control. The possibility of elimination of geohelminthiases without the use of these approaches seems to be very doubtful.
