We reviewed the epidemiology of STH in Malaysia from the 1970s to 2009. High prevalence rates persist among the rural Aborigines, estate workers and in urban slums and squatter areas. Trichuris trichiura is the most prevalent helminth in Malaysia ranging from 2.1% to 98.2%. Ascaris lumbricoides follows closely with a prevalence rate of 4.6-86.7%, while hookworm is the least prevalent (0-37.0%). A countrywide control program with special emphasis on school-based intervention is highly recommended among aboriginal people.
我们回顾了20世纪70年代至2009年马来西亚土源性蠕虫感染的流行病学情况。农村原住民、种植园工人以及城市贫民窟和棚户区的感染率一直居高不下。鞭虫是马来西亚最常见的蠕虫,感染率在2.1%至98.2%之间。蛔虫感染率紧随其后,为4.6%-86.7%,而钩虫感染率最低(0%-37.0%)。强烈建议在原住民中开展一项全国性控制计划,特别强调以学校为基础的干预措施。
