A survey of dracunculiasis was carried out among pupils in their schools and among adults in the communities from which the pupils came, to determine whether the prevalence of infection in the pupils was a good index of the prevalence in their village. No significant difference was observed between the prevalence of current infection in pupils and that in their village of origin, although in some instances there were significant differences between the prevalence of previous infection in pupils and that in the corresponding village communities. The relevance and possible benefits of the rapid assessment of the prevalence of dracunculiasis obtained by a survey of school children are discussed.
在学校学生以及这些学生所在社区的成年人中开展了一项麦地那龙线虫病调查，以确定学生中的感染率是否是其所在村庄感染率的良好指标。虽然在某些情况下，学生既往感染率与其相应村庄社区的感染率之间存在显著差异，但未观察到学生当前感染率与其原籍村庄的感染率之间存在显著差异。文中讨论了通过对学童进行调查快速评估麦地那龙线虫病感染率的相关性和可能的益处。
