A cross-sectional survey in Mnong ethnic population of Lak district and a case-control study on 733 intestinal worm infected patients were carried out in June2003. Results showed : High prevalence of intestinal worm: 80,1%; most was hookworm (68,7%). Low awareness about intestinal parasite control. In the people group with the behavior of defecating in forest, the risk of hookworm infestion was 3,7 times higher than in the other (p<0,01) In the people group who don’t wash hands before eating, the risk of intestinal worm infestion was 2,9 times higher than in the other

A study on the drinking water quality and supply and situation of dung processing and environmental pollution due to dung is carried out. A retrospective study on the intestinal diseases also carried out together in 3519 families during 1993 - 1997; 742 tanks of natural rainy water and 694 resources of water from pumping were evaluated. Results: the number of families who used the unstable resource of water is high (38,2%), families with tanks of natural rainy water (29,4%); water resource from pumping (20,2%); use of water in pond or lake (12,1%).

Methods: Isolating Cl. perfringens (C.P.) from pig faeces, pigsty floor, pathway between pigsty-kitchen, foodstuffs for pig, waste water among households, which divided into 2 groups: A (endemic region) and B (control). Specimens were cultured by standard technique at the microbiological Lab of the Nat. Inst. of Veterinary in order to identify C.P. Results: In the endemic group: the positive rates of C.P. in pig faeces was 76.74%; in pigsty floor was 93.33%; in nearby pathway was 100%; in foodstuffs for pig was 75% and 100% in waste water, while at the some time, in the control group, this rate was only 16.66% in pig faeces (p<0.01). The percentage of C.P isolated from pig faeces of the endemic group was 5 times higher than that of the control group. Perhaps, the severe contamination with C.P in living environment would be an important factor for the EN occurrence in humans, as well as in animals.
