From the 1st of March to the 30th of April, 1979, this study on intestinal helminthic infections was carried ont on thc inhabitants, in Gwang-ju City and thc Bong-hwang Myun, Na-ju Gun area. The methods employed were Kato’s cellophane thick smear technique in 603 cases (Gwang-ju City : 310, Bong-hwang Myun : 293) for the prevalence rate of various intestinal helminths ; the Scotch tape anal swab techniquu in 459 cases (Gwang-ju City : 223, Bong-hwang Myun : 236) for the prevalence rate of Enterobius vermicularis and Stoll’s dilution egg-counting technique in all positive cases for the evaluation of the worm burden of some helminths. The results are as follows : 1. The positive rate of intestinal helminths of any kin was 80.1%(male: 75.0%, female : 85.1%) in Gwang-ju City ahd 92.6% (male : 90.6%, female : 94.5%) in the Bong-hwang Myun area by the cellophane thick smear technique. 2. The prevalence rate of Ascaris lumbricoides was 48.7% (male : 43.4:%, female : 52.9%, in Gwanag-ju City and 52.6%(rnale : 63.3%, female : 42.9%)in the Bong-hwang Myun area. 3. The prevalenec rate of Trichuris trichiura was 66.5%(male : 58.8%, female : 74.1%) in Gwang-ju City and 72.6%(male : 69.8%, female : 75.3%)in the Bong-hwang Myun. The highest prevalence rateamong helminths was in this area. 4. The prevalence rate of hookworm was 5.0%(male : 3.7%, female : 6.3%) in Gwang-ju City and 9.6%(male : 7.2%, female : 11.7%) in the Bong-hwang Myun area. 5. The prevalcncc raLe of Trichostrongylus orientalis was 4.8%(male : 4.4%., female : 5.2%) in Gwang-ju City and 6.2%(male : 7.2%, female : 5.2%) in the Bong-hwang Myun area. 6. The prevalence tate of Clonorchis sinensis was 1.4% (male : 2.2%, female : 0.6%.) in Gwang-ju City and 2.4%(male : 4.3%, female : 0.4%) in the Bong-hwang Myun area. It is higher in males than in femaless in the surveyed areas. 7. Taenia spp. was not foun in Gwang-.ju City and only 2 cases were found in the Bong-hwang Myun area. 8. The prevalence rate of Enterobious vermicularis was 29.1 %(male : 29.3%, female : 28.9%) in Gwang jn City and 31.3% (male : 29.5%, female : 33.1%) in the Bong-hwang Myun area by the Scotch tape anal technique. 9. The mean E.P.G. in Gwang-ju City be Stoll’s dilution egg-counting technique was Ascaris lumbricoidis : 6,465 ; Trichuris trichiura : 600 : Hookworm : 392 ; Trichostrongylus orientalis : 256; and Clonorchis sinesis : 741. 10. The mean E.P.G. in the Bonag-hwang Myun area by the Stoll’s dilution egg-counting technique wa s Ascaris lumbricoides : 7,231; Trichuris trichiura : 820 ; Hookworm : 592 ; Trichostrongylus orientalis : 341; and Clonorchis sinensis : 10,851.
