These studies were carried out onthe pediatric age groups, who lived in the area Woong Chi Myun, Bo Sung Gun and Gwang Ju city, Chonnam, Korea. The methods employed were Kato´s cellophane thick smear technique in 822 for the prevalence rate of various intestinal helminths, scotchtape anal swab technique in 792 for the prevalence rate of Enterobius. Vermicularis, intradermal test in 690 for the prevalence rate of paragonimus westermani, zinc sulfate centrifugal floatation technique in 822 for the prevalence rate of various intestinal protozoas. The results are as follows :
1. The positive rate of intestinal helminths in the area of Woong Chi Myun. Bo Sung Gun was 81.7% of 394 cases studied eg. Ascaris lumbricoides 50.5%, Trichocephalus trichiurus 55.8%, Ancylostoma duodenale 0.8%, Trichostroagylus orientalis 2.3%, Enterbius vermicularis 22.9%, Clonorchis sinensis 5.3% and Paragonimus westermani 4.5% respectively.
2. The positive rate of intestinal protozoas in the area of Woong Chi Myun, Bo Sung Gun was 32.0% of 394 cases studied eg. Giardia lamblia 6.1%. Entameba hiotolytica 7.9%, Entameba coli 16.0%, and Endolimax nana 9.6% respectively.
3. The positive rate of intestinal helminths in the area of Gwang Ju city was 251 of 428 cases examined, eg. ; Ascaris lumbricoides 22.7%, Trichophalus trichiurus 45.8%, Ancylo-stoma duodenale 0.2%, Trichstroiglus orientalis 0.7%. Enterobious vermicularis 10.0%, Clonorchis sincnis 1.4% and Paragonimus westermani 0.5% respectively.
4. The positive rate of intestinal protozoa in the area of Gwang Ju city was 24.1% of 423 cases studied, eg. Giardia lamblia 4.9%, Entameba histolytica 4.0%, Entameba coli 12.1% and Endolimax nana 6.3% respectively.
