A parasitological survey was made in Tis Abay town, north western Ethiopia in January 1991. A total of 615 stool specimens were randomly collected from school and non-school populations. Prevalence rates for S. mansoni and other intestinal helminths were computed. Human behaviour and waste disposal were observed to be conducive for transmission of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted parasites. From the findings of this preliminary survey it is suggested that improvement of sanitary conditions and provision of a piped water supply to all households may reduce transmission of soil and water-borne infections.
1991年1月，在埃塞俄比亚西北部的提斯阿贝镇进行了一次寄生虫学调查。总共从学校和非学校人群中随机收集了615份粪便标本。计算了曼氏血吸虫和其他肠道蠕虫的流行率。观察到人类行为和废物处理有利于血吸虫病和土壤传播寄生虫的传播。根据这项初步调查的结果，建议改善卫生条件并为所有家庭提供管道供水，这可能会减少土壤传播和水传播感染的传播。
