Abstract: Intestinal parasitic infections remain a major public health problem in manyparts of Cameroon, particularly in rural areas where Buea is one of the most fastgrowing cosmopolitan city where 90% of the population have no access to basic formsof sanitation. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of gastrointestinal parasiticinfections among the people living in Kumba, Southwest Region. The study was across sectional study carried from the 18 of January to the 18 of march, a total numberof 100 fecal samples were randomly collected in different areas in kumba such asFiango, Mbonge road, Kumba town and Kossala by giving stool samples collectingcontainers, tissues and questionaires with proper collecting procedure explained tothem. And the stool samples collected were carried to a private laboratory forlaboratory analysis and the stool were examined macroscopically to check for adultworms, consistency, color and abnormal features such as blood, mucus and fatglobules and microscopically by the direct wet mount examination using normalsaline and lugol’s iodine. The stool sample was latter preserved with 10%formolsaline and was transported to Bamenda for further laboratory analyticalprocedure which is the formol-ether concentration technique and the modified ziehlNelson staining technique. Base on the work done the results showed an overallincidence of intestinal parasites among the inhabitants of Kumba to be (11%). Andbased on the 11%, helminth infections (85.8%) were more common than protozoaninfections (14.2%) with the most prevalent intestinal parasites being hookworms andAscaris lumbricoides (3%) and the lowest was Gastrodicoides hominis andDiphyllobotrium latum (1%). And also based on sex the results showed a higherinfective incidence in men (17.4%) and female being (9.1%) with Kosala having thehighest incidence (18.8) and Kumba town being the lowest (0%). A greater focus onintervention is required by improving sanitation and personal hygiene to prevent thespread of intestinal parasitic infection.
