Investigation carried out in an area of Benue State which had been found to be endemic for onchocerciasis showed that the area was also endemic for intestinal parasites especially hookworm, ascariasis and amoebiasis. 67% of the 1538 stools examined carried helminth eggs and/or protozoan cysts and 15% of the 685 urine specimens examined possessed ova of S. haematobium. Incidence of hookworm infection ascariasis and schistosomiasis was higher in the younger age groups (1-30 years) while that of amoebiasis was higher in the older age groups. Insects caught while biting humans include Tabanus, Haematopota, Stomoxys, Glossina and Culicoides species, a substantial preportion of which was engorged with fresh blood.
在贝努埃州一个已被发现是盘尾丝虫病流行区进行的调查显示，该地区也是肠道寄生虫尤其是钩虫、蛔虫病和阿米巴病的流行区。在检查的1538份粪便样本中，67%带有蠕虫卵和/或原生动物囊肿，在检查的685份尿液样本中，15%含有埃及血吸虫卵。钩虫感染、蛔虫病和血吸虫病的发病率在较年轻年龄组（1 - 30岁）中较高，而阿米巴病在较年长年龄组中发病率较高。叮咬人类的昆虫包括虻、斑虻、厩螫蝇、舌蝇和库蠓属物种，其中很大一部分吸食了新鲜血液。
