Abstract

Objective To investigate the status of intestinal parasitic infection and its epidemiological characteristic in Shenzhen city. Method 1 666 fecal samples were collected in Bao an, Nan san and Long gang districts and the intestinal parasites were detected using Kato Katz think smear method. Result 5 species of intestinal parasites were found. The infection rate of hookworm, roundworm, Trichuris linnaeu, spinworm and Clonorchis sinesis was 0 48%, 1 14%, 0 48%, 0 06%and 1 62%respectively.
