在埃塞俄比亚，由于饮用水供应质量和厕所覆盖率低，蠕虫感染是门诊发病率的第二大主要原因。事实上，关于土壤传播蠕虫和血吸虫病在埃塞俄比亚的流行情况的信息非常匮乏，特别是在研究地区。因此，本研究的目的是确定土壤传播蠕虫和肠道血吸虫病的患病率及其相关危险因素。于2009年4月1日至5月25日对扎里马镇319名学龄儿童进行横断面调查。使用预先测试的结构化问卷收集社会人口学数据和可能的危险因素暴露。清晨采集粪便标本，采用Kato Katz半浓缩技术，在复合光学显微镜下进行寄生虫载量检测和计数。数据录入和分析使用SPSS-15版本，p-Value<；0.05被认为具有统计学意义。在319名研究对象中，263名(82.4%)的研究参与者感染了一种或多种寄生虫。土壤传播蠕虫以蛔虫为主(22%)，其次为钩虫(19%)和鞭虫(2.5%)。在37.9%的研究参与者中也分离到曼氏血吸虫。钩虫和曼氏血吸虫感染分别与学龄儿童穿鞋和游泳习惯有统计学意义的相关性。土壤传播蠕虫(STH)和曼氏血吸虫(S.mansoni)的流行率较高，仍是研究区的主要卫生问题，应尽快进行公共卫生干预。
In Ethiopia, because of low quality drinking water supply and latrine coverage, helminths infections are the second most predominant causes of outpatient morbidity. Indeed, there is a scarcity of information on the prevalence of soil transmitted helminths and Schistosomiasis in Ethiopia, special in study area. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of soil transmitted helminths and intestinal Schistosomiasis. Cross-sectional study was conducted among 319 school children of Zarima town from April 1 to May 25, 2009. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic data and possible risk factors exposure. Early morning stool samples were collected and a Kato Katz semi concentration technique was used to examine and count parasitic load by compound light microscope. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS-15 version and p-value < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Out of 319 study subjects, 263 (82.4%) of the study participants infected with one or more parasites. From soil transmitted helminths, Ascaris lumbricoides was the predominant isolate (22%) followed by Hookworms (19%) and Trichuris trichiura (2.5%). Schistosoma mansoni was also isolated in 37.9% of the study participants. Hookworm and S. mansoni infections showed statistically significant associations with shoe wearing and swimming habit of school children, respectively. Prevalence of soil transmitted helminths (STH) and S.mansoni was high and the diseases were still major health problem in the study area which alerts public health intervention as soon as possible.
