This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of health education and anti-Clonorchis campaign conducted in Kyungpook Province and to compare the prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis among the residents in the same areas for the period 1964-1976. Both surveys were made on all age groups of residents ranging from 0 to over 60 years of age. They were examined using primarily intradermal tests with Clonorchis and Paragonimus antigens and followed by stool examinations. The definitive diagnosis of clonorchiasis was made on the recovery of Clonorchis eggs from the stools. A marked reduction in the prevalence was encountered in the youngest age group, but there is no significant difference in the older age groups. The overall prevalence rate for clonorchiasis was reduced from 27.7 to 19.6 per cent in a period of 10 years. It is found that clonorchiasis is less prevalent in Kyungpook Province than it was a decade ago and it continued to decline.
本研究旨在评估庆尚北道开展的健康教育和防治华支睾吸虫运动的效果，并比较1964 - 1976年期间同一地区居民中华支睾吸虫的感染率。两项调查均针对0至60岁以上的所有年龄段居民。主要通过华支睾吸虫和肺吸虫抗原皮内试验对他们进行检查，随后进行粪便检查。华支睾吸虫病的确诊依据是从粪便中检出华支睾吸虫卵。在最年轻的年龄组中感染率显著下降，但在年龄较大的组中没有显著差异。在10年时间里，华支睾吸虫病的总体感染率从27.7%降至19.6%。研究发现，庆尚北道的华支睾吸虫病感染率低于十年前，且仍在持续下降。
