The influence of the parasitic diseases on pregnancy and the influence of pregnancy on the parasitic diseases are both well known concepts. The authors lay special interest on malaria, amebiasis and hookworm disease by giving a description of their effects and by mentioning the risks they may entail; then, they give practical directions intended for their detection and the treatment of their effects. It is, once again, emphasized on the utmost importance of performing antenatal examinations.
