The present study title: “a study to assess the knowledge regarding deworming among adults in selected areas of Pune city. Objectives were to assess the knowledge regarding deworming among adults in selected areas of Pune city and to associate the finding with selected demographic variable. Intestinal worms and other types of parasitic worms can be eliminated from the body by a procedure known as deworming, which is accomplished by taking an anthelmintic treatment or pill.
