The study of ascaridiasis in a single locality of the Cap Bon region (Tunisia) where prevalence of this helminthiasis is much higher than anywhere else in the region, shows that 71,1% of the population is infected and all ages approximately in the same proportion. This high prevalence can be explained by a cumulative effect of two transmission factors: a particular construction of houses, which have a kind of reservoir for organic wastes in direct connection with the street, and the use of human excrements in agriculture. Mass chemotherapy every 3 months during several consecutive years is proposed.
在突尼斯邦角地区的一个单一地点开展的蛔虫病研究表明，该地区这种蠕虫病的患病率远高于其他任何地方，71.1%的人口受到感染，且各年龄段感染比例大致相同。这种高患病率可由两个传播因素的累积效应来解释：房屋的特殊构造，其有与街道直接相连的有机废物储存库，以及农业中使用人类排泄物。建议连续数年每3个月进行一次群体化疗。
