The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of improvement measures for hygiene and water supply, installation of latrines and health education on the incidence of ascaridiasis and ankylostomiasis with 2 to 4 years old children in some villages of southern Côte d'Ivoire. The method used is the comparison of children carrying parasites before and after intervention. Initially in 1988, the stools of all children aged from 2 to 4 were collected and examined in order to look for the presence of parasites in the stools. Two identical inquiries were made in 1990 and 1992. The results show a reduction of the rate of incidence for ascaridiasis by 75% and ankylostomiasis by 82%. They demonstrate the importance of an appropriate evacuation of excreta, of an education of mothers and of domestic hygiene in the process of prevention of children parasitosis.
本研究的目的是评估卫生和供水改善措施、厕所安装以及健康教育对科特迪瓦南部一些村庄2至4岁儿童蛔虫病和钩虫病发病率的影响。所采用的方法是比较干预前后携带寄生虫的儿童情况。最初在1988年，收集了所有2至4岁儿童的粪便并进行检查，以寻找粪便中寄生虫的存在。1990年和1992年进行了两次相同的调查。结果显示蛔虫病发病率降低了75%，钩虫病发病率降低了82%。它们证明了排泄物的适当处理、母亲教育和家庭卫生在预防儿童寄生虫病过程中的重要性。
