BACKGROUND Annual mass drug administration (MDA) using diethylcarbamizine (DEC, 6 mg/kg) combined with albendazole (alb, 400 mg) is recommended by the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF). This strategy has been shown to be efficient in the of control bancroftian filariasis, but data on brugian filariasis as well as on the positive side effects on intestinal helminths are ...

this survey was carried out from june to october 1990, in order to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasites in the residents. a total of 2227 persons were selected from 44 villages by using linear systematic sampling method. the samples of stool from these people were examined by formalin - ether concentration procedure. the collected data were analyzed by spss package. the result showed...

BACKGROUND Many different intestinal parasite species can co-occur in the same population. However, classic diagnostic tools can only frame a particular group of intestinal parasite species. Hence, one or two tests do not suffice to provide a complete picture of infecting parasite species in a given population. The present study investigated intestinal parasitic infections in Beira, Mozambique,...

The aim of this study is to determine prevalence of intestinal parasites among elementary school children in Mizan-Aman town, southwest Ethiopia. METHODS Institution-based cross-sectional study involving 460 elementary school children in Mizan-Aman Town was c...

A survey was made to find the extent of intestinal parasite infection in Kampongcham, Cambodia in February 2002. A total of 251 fecal specimens were collected from Tonlebat primary school children and examined by formalin-ether sedimentation technique. The overall infection rate of intestinal parasite was 54.2% (males, 57.3%; females, 50.8%). The infection rate of intestinal helminths by the sp...

Between 1994 and 1999, 219 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were collected in northern Belgium and examined for intestinal helminths. The effects of host-related (age, sex, body mass/size ratio) and temporal factors on the prevalence and on the number of parasite species per individual host were investigated. The following parasites were found: cestodes Echinococcus multilocularis (1.8%), Dipylidium c...

A cohort study was carried out in Purworejo District, Central Java, Indonesia to investigate prevalence of anemia and low iron stores during pregnancy in relation to intestinal helminth infection. 442 pregnant women were followed until 5-10 weeks postpartum, during the period of April 1996 - August 1998. Information on intestinal helminths, hemoglobin and serum ferritin was collected each trime...

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, strongly associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer development. Parasitic infections caused by helminths have been shown to modulate the host's immune response by releasing immunomodulatory molecules and inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs). This immunosuppressive state provoked in th...
