A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in primary school children in Bandar Abbas, southern Iran during January to March 2016. Single stool samples were collected from 1465 participants by clean stool cup. The questionnaire was prepared on the basis of demographic characteristics. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the direct wet mount, formalin-ether concentration, and Ziehl-Neelsen and trichrome stained slides. Out of the 1465 school children examined, six species of intestinal parasites were identified with an overall prevalence of 95 positive students (6.5%). Prevalence of protozoan infections (6.2%) was significantly higher than helminth infections (0.3%). The most common protozoan species were ( = 42, 2.9%) and ( = 31, 2.1%). Only two cases of and two cases of were detected. The prevalence of parasitic infections was higher in boys ( = 52, 7%) than girls ( = 41, 5.7%), but the difference was not significant. The parasitic infections were higher among the children whose parent's education was less than high school diploma ( = 0.000), and there was also a significant association between the parents' jobs and the intensity of parasitic infection. The prevalence of intestinal parasites, compared to the previous studies in this area, was significantly lower; that is mainly due to an increase in the quality of life and parents' education as well as the accessibility to health services. The most prevalent intestinal parasite was ; therefore, it is recommended that more emphasis is applied to controlling and preventing this parasitic infection by washing hands, particularly before each meal course.
2016年1月至3月期间，在伊朗南部阿巴斯港开展了一项横断面研究，以确定小学生肠道寄生虫的感染率。通过清洁粪便杯从1465名参与者中采集单份粪便样本。根据人口统计学特征编制了问卷。诊断基于直接湿片法、福尔马林-乙醚浓缩法以及齐尔-尼尔森染色和三色染色玻片。在接受检查的1465名学童中，鉴定出六种肠道寄生虫，共有95名学生呈阳性（6.5%）。原生动物感染率（6.2%）显著高于蠕虫感染率（0.3%）。最常见的原生动物种类是 （ = 42，2.9%）和 （ = 31，2.1%）。仅检测到两例 和两例 。男孩的寄生虫感染率（ = 52，7%）高于女孩（ = 41，5.7%），但差异不显著。父母教育程度低于高中文凭的儿童中寄生虫感染率较高（ = 0.000），父母的工作与寄生虫感染强度之间也存在显著关联。与该地区以前的研究相比，肠道寄生虫感染率显著降低；这主要归因于生活质量提高、父母教育程度提高以及获得医疗服务的机会增加。最常见的肠道寄生虫是 ；因此，建议更加重视通过洗手来控制和预防这种寄生虫感染，尤其是在每餐饭前。
