Abstract:
Objective To investigate the infection situation of intestinal nematodes and knowledge about the prevention and control of intestinal nematodiasis,so as to explore the effective control measures in Jingjiang City. Methods The towns where more floating people lived were randomly selected and the infection situation of intestinal nematodes was investigated with Kato-Katz method,and the residents'awareness of the prevention and control of nematodiasis was surveyed with questionnaires. Re-sults From 2013 to 2015,totally 4555 local residents and 2278 floating people were investigated in Jingjiang City. The infec-tion rate of intestinal nematodes was 0.29%(13 cases)in the local people,while the rate was 0.75%(17 cases)in the floating people,and the difference was significant(χ2=7.380,P<0.01). The differences of the intestinal nematode infection rates be-tween sexes in both local residents and floating people were not significant(χ2=0.010,0.048,both P>0.05). The awareness rate of intestinal nematodiasis prevention and control of the local residents was significantly higher than that of the floating peo-ple(χ2 =9.649-164.533,all P<0.01). Conclusion The floating people is the focus of intestinal nematodiasis control,and the health education of ancylostomiasis control should be strengthened in Jingjiang City.
