By the performance of parasitological examination of one fecal sample per individual, a total of 256 persons from a rural county in the X Region (41 degrees 50 minutes South lat., 73 degrees 05 minutes West long.) were studied. The general rates of infection by intestinal parasite and/or commensal protozoa and helminths found were: Giardia intestinalis 14.1%, Entamoeba histolytica 11.7%, Blastocystis hominis 36.0%, Entamoeba coli 9.8%, Endolimax nana 16.4%, Iodamoeba buetschlii 1.2%, Chilomastix mesnili 0.8%, Ascaris lumbricoides 13.7% and Trichuris trichiura 9.8%. The prevalence rates of intestinal infection led us to conclude that environmental conditions favorable for its transmission remain and show that intestinal parasitoses are still a public health problem in this region, affecting mostly children.
通过对X地区（南纬41度50分，西经73度05分）一个乡村县的256人每人一份粪便样本进行寄生虫学检查，开展了本研究。所发现的肠道寄生虫和/或共生原生动物及蠕虫的总体感染率为：肠贾第虫14.1%，溶组织内阿米巴11.7%，人芽囊原虫36.0%，结肠内阿米巴9.8%，微小内蜒阿米巴16.4%，布氏嗜碘阿米巴1.2%，梅氏唇鞭毛虫0.8%，蛔虫13.7%，鞭虫9.8%。肠道感染的流行率使我们得出结论，有利于其传播的环境条件依然存在，表明肠道寄生虫病在该地区仍是一个公共卫生问题，主要影响儿童。
