In a study of intestinal parasites in 697 Aboriginal children under the age of 6 years in South-west Australia, Giardia lamblia was recorded in 26% and Hymenolepis nana in 13.9%. G. lamblia infections occurred above 4 months of age, and H. nana infections above 18 months of age. There was a close correlation between infection with these two species (chi 2, P less than 0.001). Campylobacter jejuni, the predominant bacterial species recorded, was isolated in 2.3%, and was related to bowel symptoms in one child. G. lamblia was more prevalent in the country areas than in the Perth metropolitan area (chi 2, P less than 0.05. H. nana was more prevalent in children whose weight was below the third percentile (chi 2, P less than 0.02), and in those with diarrhoea (chi 2, P less than 0.01). There were strong correlations between low weight (below third percentile), a history of recent diarrhoea, and discharging ears.
在一项针对澳大利亚西南部697名6岁以下原住民儿童肠道寄生虫的研究中，蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫的感染率为26%，微小膜壳绦虫为13.9%。蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫感染发生在4个月龄以上，微小膜壳绦虫感染发生在18个月龄以上。这两种寄生虫感染之间存在密切相关性（卡方检验，P<0.001）。记录到的主要细菌种类为空肠弯曲菌，分离率为2.3%，且与一名儿童的肠道症状有关。蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫在农村地区比在珀斯大都市区更普遍（卡方检验，P<0.05）。微小膜壳绦虫在体重低于第三百分位数的儿童中更普遍（卡方检验，P<0.02），以及在患有腹泻的儿童中更普遍（卡方检验，P<0.01）。低体重（低于第三百分位数）、近期腹泻史和耳部流脓之间存在很强的相关性。
