In a study of faecal egg counts of Schistosoma mansoni from 359 people of all ages from a rural Kenyan community, a positive association was demonstrated between infection intensity in individuals before treatment and reinfection intensity in the same individuals 9 months after treatment in certain age groups of the sampled population. Consequences and possible causes of these observations are discussed in terms of the epidemiology and control of schistosomiasis.
在一项针对肯尼亚农村社区359名各年龄段人群的曼氏血吸虫粪便虫卵计数研究中,发现在特定年龄组的抽样人群中,治疗前个体的感染强度与治疗9个月后同一人群的再感染强度之间存在正相关。本文从血吸虫病的流行病学和控制方面讨论了这些观察结果的后果及可能原因。
