In this study, an attempt was made to compare and correlate findings of a Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) survey carried out using WHO sampling methodology for school children and community survey by random sampling. The prevalence and intensity of STH in the age-group of 9-10 yrs reportedly represent community status. The results showed that the STH prevalence and intensity in the age-group of 9-10 years do represent community burden. However, more such surveys will have to be carried out to substantiate this statement.
在本研究中，尝试对采用世界卫生组织抽样方法针对学童开展的土壤传播蠕虫（STH）调查结果与通过随机抽样进行的社区调查结果进行比较和关联。据报道，9至10岁年龄组的STH流行率和感染强度代表了社区状况。结果表明，9至10岁年龄组的STH流行率和感染强度确实代表了社区负担。然而，还需要开展更多此类调查来证实这一说法。
