Enterobiasis continues to be among the highest parasitic infections affecting the human population worldwide. A study was conducted between 2011 - 2015 in Iraq to evaluate the enterobiasis reported by the Communicable Diseases Control Center (n=220,607 cases) in relation to demographic (age, sex, rural population and family size) and spatial variables (local and regional sources). Females were more parasitized than males, as well as children and youth ages 4 to 15. Approximately 40 % of cases are from the South region provinces (Thiqar, Miasan, Basrah and Wassit). However, most cases occurred in regions with high rural populations and a high family size average. The results may provide insights for researchers assessing management approaches to control enterobiasis in Iraq.
蛲虫病仍然是全球影响人类的最常见寄生虫感染之一。2011年至2015年期间在伊拉克开展了一项研究，以评估传染病控制中心报告的蛲虫病（n = 220,607例）与人口统计学（年龄、性别、农村人口和家庭规模）及空间变量（当地和区域来源）之间的关系。女性比男性更易感染，4至15岁的儿童和青少年也是如此。约40%的病例来自南部地区省份（济加尔省、迈桑省、巴士拉省和瓦西特省）。然而，大多数病例发生在农村人口多且家庭平均规模大的地区。研究结果可能为评估伊拉克控制蛲虫病管理方法的研究人员提供参考。
