An epidemiological survey is conducted by spot-checks over about 10% of the population of Tortuga Island in order to estimate the prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis in that region of the Republic of Haïti, by researching the presence of eggs in faeces. Population sample is representative of the whole of the island's population excepting the 0-4 years old group whose faeces are difficult to obtain. Faeces are examined through the Kato method, a very simple, quick and remarkably accurate procedure. Trichuriasis and ascariasis, which are transmitted in the area around the house, affect mainly children, but also adults. Women seem to be more often infested than men by Ascaris lumbricoides. Necatoriasis, the farmer's disease, hits primarily young men and elderly women who spend most time in the fields. It is observed in inland villages where people are engaged in agricultural production, with a higher incidence if they are located in a not so sloping zone.
为了通过研究粪便中的虫卵来估计海地共和国该地区肠道蠕虫病的流行情况，对托尔图加岛约10%的人口进行了抽样流行病学调查。除了难以获取粪便样本的0至4岁年龄组外，人口样本代表了全岛人口。粪便通过加藤法进行检测，这是一种非常简单、快速且极其准确的方法。在房屋周边地区传播的鞭虫病和蛔虫病主要影响儿童，但也会影响成年人。感染蛔虫的女性似乎比男性更为常见。钩虫病，也就是农民病，主要侵袭大部分时间在田间劳作的年轻男性和老年女性。在内陆从事农业生产的村庄中观察到这种疾病，如果村庄位于坡度较小的地区，发病率会更高。
