Abstract
This opinion paper explores the complex interplay between parasitic infections and childhood stunting. It examines various mechanistic pathways linking parasites to stunting, including malnutrition, environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), anaemia, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and epigenetic alterations. The authors highlight the need for further research to elucidate the causal relationships and complexities involved.
