The prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis among the Qashqai tribe in Southern Iran.

Abstract

The prevalence and the intensity of intestinal helminthiasis in the Qashqai tribe of Southern Iran were studied. Infection with Ascaris Lumbricoides and Trichuris Trichura was low (6.1 and 0.8 per cent respectively) while the prevalence of Trichostrongylus was 27.6 per cent of the total stool samples examined or 63.2 per cent of the total intestinal parasites found. This might be due to the mode of life of the tribe and the proximity of its people to domestic animals.
