After a baseline survey in 2003 which showed an overall parasitological prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths of 69.7% in school children (prevalence of ascariasis 48.5%, prevalence of trichuriasis 57.5% and prevalence of hookworm infection 6.5), a national deworming programme was established. After 7 years of implementation, it had resulted in a significant reduction of STH prevalence (prevalence of any STH 21%, prevalence of ascariasis 5.8%, prevalence of trichuriasis 18.6% and prevalence of hookworm infection 0.3%) as well as a reduction of the infections of moderate-heavy intensity from 18.5% at baseline to less than 7%. The results are encouraging and a reduction of the frequency of deworming can be envisaged in two of four ecological areas of Myanmar.
2003 年进行基线调查显示，在校儿童的肠道寄生虫总流行率为 69.7%（蛔虫感染率 48.5%，鞭虫感染率 57.5%，钩虫感染率 6.5%），此后，该国开展了全国驱虫方案。实施 7 年后，该方案显著降低了肠道寄生虫感染率（总感染率 21%，蛔虫感染率 5.8%，鞭虫感染率 18.6%，钩虫感染率 0.3%），同时也将中度和重度感染率从基线时的 18.5%降低到了 7%以下。结果令人鼓舞，缅甸的四个生态区中有两个区可考虑减少驱虫频率。
