To analyze the prevalent trend of soil-transmitted nematode infection in Fujian Province during the past 5 year surveillance and evaluate the control effect.
From 2006 to 2010, fecal samples of the inhabitants of 3 years old and above were collected every November and examined for intestinal helminth eggs by the modified Kato s thick smear technique at the 2 surveillance sites: Punan village of Zhangzhou and Gushan village of Shaowu. Cellophane tapes were used to detect pinworm eggs for children aged 3-12. Soil samples were also collected from vegetable field, lavatory, courtyard and kitchen of 20 randomly selected families (in 2 villages) each with stool egg-positive findings and examined for ascaris eggs by a modified saturated sodium nitrate floatation method.
The prevalence of soil-transmitted nematode infection at the surveillance sites decreased from 45.3% (946/2087) in 2006 to 15.1% (226/1494) in 2010, with a reduction of 66.6%. Among the infected subjects, hookworm infection occupied 75%-85%, while ascaris or trichuris infections each accounted for less than 10%. In terms of infection intensity, 65.2%-85.5% of the hookworm infection was light, and majority of the infected subjects were farmers. The pinworm prevalence in children were still high although it had dropped down from 46.1% (140/304) in 2006 to 29.8% (36/121) in 2010, declined by 35.4%. In the 5 years, totally 400 soil samples from 100 families were examined and 21 samples were found ascaris egg positive with viable eggs in only one sample.
The 5 year surveillance reveals a decreasing trend of the soil-transmitted nematode prevalence but shows a relatively high hookworm infection rate in the population and pinworm infection in children.
分析福建省过去5年监测期间土源性线虫感染的流行趋势并评估防控效果。
2006年至2010年,每年11月在2个监测点(漳州市浦南村和邵武市鼓山村)采集3岁及以上居民粪便样本,采用改良加藤厚涂片法检测肠道蠕虫卵。采用透明胶纸法检测3 - 12岁儿童蛲虫卵。还从20个随机抽取的(来自2个村庄)粪便虫卵阳性家庭的菜地、厕所、庭院和厨房采集土壤样本,采用改良饱和硝酸钠漂浮法检测蛔虫卵。
监测点土源性线虫感染率从2006年的45.3%(946/2087)降至2010年的15.1%(226/1494),下降了66.6%。在感染人群中,钩虫感染占75% - 85%,而蛔虫或鞭虫感染各占不到10%。就感染强度而言,65.2% - 85.5%的钩虫感染为轻度,大多数感染对象为农民。儿童蛲虫感染率虽从2006年的46.1%(140/304)降至2010年的29.8%(36/121),下降了35.4%,但仍处于较高水平。5年间,共检测了100个家庭的400份土壤样本,发现21份样本蛔虫卵阳性,仅1份样本有活卵。
5年监测显示土源性线虫感染率呈下降趋势,但人群中钩虫感染率相对较高,儿童蛲虫感染率较高。
