The prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis infection was studied in the rural and urban populations of 19 provinces of Northeastern Thailand. A total of 1233 fecal samples was collected from July to September 2002 and examined using agar plate culture method. The overall prevalence of S. stercoralis was 23.5 per cent with the highest infection rate in Kalasin Province (61.0%), predominantly among 60 year olds and older (28.0%), and in males (32.8%). The factors associated with Strongyloides infection were sex (males) and age (the over 19 year-old age group).
S. stercoralis infection remains highly prevalent among the population of northeastern Thailand as confirmed by the agar plate culture method. The authors recommend that a program for effective strongyloidiasis control should have a justifiable priority.
对泰国东北部19个省份的农村和城市人口中的粪类圆线虫感染率进行了研究。2002年7月至9月共收集了1233份粪便样本,并采用琼脂平板培养法进行检测。粪类圆线虫的总体感染率为23.5%,呵叻府的感染率最高(61.0%),主要集中在60岁及以上人群(28.0%)以及男性(32.8%)。与粪类圆线虫感染相关的因素为性别(男性)和年龄(19岁以上年龄组)。
琼脂平板培养法证实,粪类圆线虫感染在泰国东北部人群中仍然高度流行。作者建议,有效的类圆线虫病控制项目应有合理的优先级。
