肠道寄生虫感染是世界上最常见的传染病之一，特别是在发展中国家。全世界约有35亿人受到影响，4.5亿人因这些感染而患病，其中大多数是儿童。本研究的目的是评估埃塞俄比亚ANRS地区Dagi小学学童肠道寄生虫感染的流行情况及相关危险因素。方法：2012年9月24日至10月19日，对399名在校儿童进行基于机构的横断面研究。采用结构化问卷调查确定环境、社会人口和行为因素，并收集粪便标本，采用直接涂片和形式醚浓度技术检查寄生虫。采用SPSS 15版统计软件进行数据分析。结果：共检出肠道寄生虫8种，总检出率77.9%。学生感染一种或多种肠道寄生虫，以钩虫94种（23.6%）为主，其次为兰氏弓形虫91种（22.8%）、组织弓形虫86种（21.6%）和圆线虫6种（1.5%）。混合寄生虫感染106例（34.1%），双重感染97例（91.5%），三重感染9例（8.5%）。父亲的职业是农民、指甲不洁、没有穿鞋习惯的儿童肠道寄生虫感染较高(p
Introduction: Intestinal parasitic infections are among the most common communicable diseases worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Worldwide, about 3.5 billion people are affected, and 450 million are ill as a result of these infections, among whom, the majority are children. The objective of this study was to assess prevalence of intestinal parasites infection and associated risk factors among school children in Dagi primary school, ANRS, Ethiopia. Methods: Institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted by involving 399 school children from 24 September to 19 October, 2012. Structured questionnaires were used to identify environmental, socio-demographic and behavioral factors and stool specimens were collected and examined for parasites using direct smear and formal-ether concentration technique. Data analysis was done by using SPSS version 15 statistical soft ware. Results: Eight species of intestinal parasites were identified with an overall prevalence of 77.9%. Students were infected with one or more intestinal parasites and the predominant parasite was hook worm, 94 (23.6%) followed by G. lamblia 91 (22.8%), E. histoltica 86 (21.6%) and Strongyloides 6 (1.5%). The presence of mixed parasitic infection was 106 (34.1%), double and triple infections were 97 (91.5%) and 9 (8.5%) respectively. Intestinal parasitic infection was higher in children whose fathers' occupational status were farmers, who had unclean finger nails and who did not have the habit of wearing shoes (p
