Abstract:
Examination of soil samples in some military units revealed a high degree of parasitic infestation and bacterial contamination. The incidence of parasitic disease among the staff of these units was recorded as following: ascaridiasis 71.5%, trichiurasis 33.3% and ankylostomiasis 10.7%. Authors strongly urged the need to improve the existing latrine system of these military units.
