Regular annual deworming is indicated for areas where worm prevalence is over 50% according to WHO guidelines from 2006. Data from India shows worm prevalence meeting this threshold. Effective deworming requires single or multi-day doses of albendazole or mebendazole depending on the type of worm, with trichuris requiring longer treatment and enterobius vermicularis requiring two doses separated by 14 days.
