Studies of patterns of reinfection with four species of intestinal nematodes (Ascaris, hookworm, Trichuris and Enterobius) in 174 individual patients following chemotherapeutic treatment revealed statistical evidence for predisposition to heavy or light infection (relative to the average level in the overall population). Analyses of associations between the abundances of the four species of nematodes within a combined sample of 525 worm burdens showed significant correlations between 5 out of the 6 possible pair-wise comparisons between species. The relevance of these results to the design of control programmes based on chemotherapeutic application is discussed.
对174名个体患者在接受化疗后感染四种肠道线虫（蛔虫、钩虫、鞭虫和蛲虫）的再感染模式进行研究，发现有统计学证据表明存在易发生重度或轻度感染的倾向（相对于总体人群的平均水平）。对525份蠕虫负荷组合样本中四种线虫丰度之间的关联进行分析，结果显示在六种可能的物种间两两比较中，有五种存在显著相关性。本文讨论了这些结果与基于化疗应用的控制项目设计的相关性。
