通过显微镜观察人类粪便中的线虫卵用于诊断蠕虫感染，而这些卵的浓度用于估计宿主中蠕虫的数量。在一个社区内，感染流行率和平均虫卵数提供了有关公共卫生问题严重程度的有用信息，并被用来指导日益加强的控制由蠕虫引起的疾病的努力。在本文中，Andrew Hall和Celia Holland研究了关于类蛔虫的蠕虫负荷与粪便中卵的浓度之间关系的数据，并讨论了使用这些数据来规划蠕虫控制计划所发现的变化的含义。
The observation by microscopy of nematode eggs in human faeces is used to diagnose a helminthic infection, while the concentration of those eggs is used to estimate the number of worms in the host. Within a community, the prevalence of infection and the mean egg count provide useful information about the extent of a public health problem, and are being used to guide the growing efforts to control disease caused by helminths. Here, Andrew Hall and Celia Holland examine data on the relationship between the worm burdens of Ascaris lumbricoides and the concentration of eggs in faeces, anti discuss the implications of the variation found for using such data to plan: helminth control programmes.
