Faecal specimens were collected form a total of 7569 scholars at 45 different localities in northern KwaZulu and screened for the presence of intestinal helminth and protozoan parasites. The soil-transmitted nematodes Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and hookworm sp. were extremely common, with prevalences in certain localities ranking among the highest to be recorded in South Africa. Entamoeba coli was by far the commonest (60%) of the protozoa;p all the other species had prevalences of less than 10%. The distribution age-specific prevalence and the influence of the variables-sex, ara and age-on the occurrence of the various intestinal parasites are described.
从夸祖鲁北部45个不同地点的7569名学者中采集粪便样本，筛查肠道蠕虫和原生动物寄生虫的存在情况。土源性线虫蛔虫、鞭虫和钩虫属极为常见，某些地区的感染率在南非有记录以来处于最高水平。结肠内阿米巴是迄今为止最常见的原生动物（60%）；所有其他种类的感染率均低于10%。描述了特定年龄的感染率分布以及性别、地区和年龄等变量对各种肠道寄生虫发生情况的影响。
