A study was conducted in and around the union Territory, Chandigarh, India to estimate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in different population groups. The stool samples from a total of 600 subjects selected by cluster sampling technique were examined by direct microscopy. The prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections was found to be 14.6% with highest prevalence of 19% from the slum area. Children were the most commonly affected group (18%) with those from slums showing the highest prevalence (24.6%). The most common parasite was Giardia (5.5%) followed by H. nana and Ascaris (2.8% and 2.7% respectively).
在印度昌迪加尔联合属地及其周边地区开展了一项研究，以估算不同人群中肠道寄生虫感染的患病率。通过整群抽样技术选取了总共600名受试者的粪便样本，并采用直接显微镜检查法进行检测。结果发现，肠道寄生虫感染的患病率为14.6%，其中贫民窟地区的患病率最高，为19%。儿童是最常受感染的群体（18%），来自贫民窟的儿童患病率最高（24.6%）。最常见的寄生虫是贾第虫（5.5%），其次是微小膜壳绦虫和蛔虫（分别为2.8%和2.7%）。
