|
Helminthological parasites for inhabitants in Boeun-Gun, Chungbuk province were surveyed. Total infection rate was 21.4% and helminth ova of seven species were observed ; Clonorchis sinensis 11.7%, Metagonimus sp. 7.0 %, Echinostoma hortense 2.7%, Taenia sp. 2.3%, Ascaris lumbricoides 0.8%, Trichuris trichiura 1.6% and Enterobius vermicularis 3.5%. Infection rate of food-transmitted helminthes (C. sinensis, Metagonimus sp. E.hortense, Taenia sp.) was 76.4%(42/55), soil transmitted helminthes (A.lumbricoides, T. trichiura) was 7.3%(4/55), contagious helminthes(E. vermicularis) was 16.3%(9/55). Multiple infection rate was 30.9 % and most of them were limited in snail-transmitted helminthes(C.sinensis, Metagonimas sp., E.hortense). Infection rate of male (18. 3%) was higher than those of female (3.1%). Intensities of Csinensis and Metagonimus sp. were light or moderate, showed 530 and 444 by mean E.P.G. respectively.
In this survey, we newly found the small endemic areas of E.hortense, which was previously reported sporadically in Korea other than in Chung buk province
