This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites and their seasonal variation in northern Jordan. A total of 21 906 stool samples were collected over a period of 4 years (2009- 2013) from 5 government hospitals in 3 cities. Samples were processed and examined microscopically and by concentration methods. Parasitic infection was found in 9611 samples (44%). Giardia lamblia was the most prevalent parasite (41%) followed by Entamoeba histolytica (31%) and Ent. coli (13%); the least prevalent parasites were Ascaris lumbricoides (1%), Hymenolepis nana, Taenia sp., and Chilomastix mesnili (all < 1%). The prevalence of different parasites varied according to season, on average the summer months showed the highest incidence of parasitic infection (62%) compared with the winter months (16%). Giardia lamblia and Ent. histolytica were most prevalent in the summer months.
本研究旨在确定约旦北部肠道寄生虫的流行情况及其季节变化。在4年时间里（2009年至2013年），从3个城市的5家政府医院共收集了21906份粪便样本。样本经过处理后，采用显微镜检查和浓缩法进行检测。在9611份样本中发现了寄生虫感染（44%）。蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫是最常见的寄生虫（41%），其次是溶组织内阿米巴（31%）和结肠内阿米巴（13%）；最不常见的寄生虫是蛔虫（1%）、微小膜壳绦虫、带绦虫属和梅氏唇鞭毛虫（均<1%）。不同寄生虫的流行率随季节变化，平均而言，夏季寄生虫感染的发生率最高（62%），而冬季则为（16%）。蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫和溶组织内阿米巴在夏季最为常见。
