Schoolchildren in developing countries are at greater risk of intestinal parasitic infections. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and assess the risk factors of intestinal parasite infection among schoolchildren in rural areas of Peru.
A volunteer team from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) conducted a campaign for parasite eradication called "Chao parasitos" at five schools in the peripheral highland regions of Huanuco in October 2013. The study collected questionnaires and stool samples from children of participating schools. , , and were classified as nonpathogenic parasites.
The overall prevalence of intestinal parasite infection in the students was 100% (185/185). Among them, 25.9% (48/185) were infected only with nonpathogenic parasites whereas 74.1% (137/185) were infected with at least one pathogenic parasite. was the most commonly detected (37.3%, 69/185), followed by (15.1%, 28/185) and (11.9%, 22/185). Among lifestyle practices associated with parasitic infection, the rate of washing hands before meals was significantly lower in the students with pathogenic parasites compared to those with nonpathogenic parasites (77.4%, 106/137 vs. 93.8%, 45/48, = 0.025).
The prevalence of intestinal parasite was 100%. Both personal hygiene and water supply facilities are required to eradicate parasite infection in rural areas of Peru.
发展中国家的学童感染肠道寄生虫的风险更高。本研究旨在估计秘鲁农村地区学童肠道寄生虫感染的患病率，并评估其感染的风险因素。
2013年10月，韩国国际协力团（KOICA）的一个志愿者团队在瓦努科周边高地地区的五所学校开展了一项名为“消灭寄生虫”的寄生虫根除运动。该研究收集了参与学校儿童的问卷和粪便样本。 、 和 被归类为非致病性寄生虫。
学生中肠道寄生虫感染的总体患病率为100%（185/185）。其中，仅感染非致病性寄生虫的占25.9%（48/185），而感染至少一种致病性寄生虫的占74.1%（137/185）。 是最常检测到的（37.3%，69/185），其次是 （15.1%，28/185）和 （11.9%，22/185）。在与寄生虫感染相关的生活习惯中，致病性寄生虫感染学生饭前洗手的比例明显低于非致病性寄生虫感染学生（77.4%，106/137对93.8%，45/48， = 0.025）。
肠道寄生虫患病率为100%。秘鲁农村地区根除寄生虫感染既需要个人卫生，也需要供水设施。
