关于母体蠕虫感染和疟疾-蠕虫合并感染对分娩结果的关系的研究结果好坏参半。从肯尼亚夸莱地区招募了696名孕妇，并在分娩时对她们进行了疟疾和寄生虫感染检测。记录了664名婴儿的出生体重。恶性疟原虫感染率为42.7%，血血吸虫感染率为30.6%，丝虫病感染率为36.2%，钩虫感染率为31.5%，毛线虫感染率为5.9%；合并感染占46.7%。15.4%的后代存在低出生体重（LBW）（体重< 2500克），8.3%的后代有体重z分数
Results of studies on the associations of maternal helminth infection and malaria-helminth co-infection on birth outcomes have been mixed. A group of 696 pregnant women from the Kwale district in Kenya were recruited and tested for malaria and helminth infection at delivery. Birthweight was documented for 664 infants. A total of 42.7% of the mothers were infected with Plasmodium falciparum, 30.6% with Schistosoma haematobium, 36.2% with filariasis, 31.5% with hookworm, and 5.9% with Trichuris trichiura; co-infection was present in 46.7%. Low birthweight (LBW) (weight < 2,500 grams) was present in 15.4% of the offspring, and 8.3% had a weight z-score
