Objective:To understand the status of intestinal helminth infections in Lunan area of Shandong Province (Jining City, Rizhao City, Linyi City, Heze City, and Zaozhuang City), and provide scientific basis for formulating parasitic disease prevention and control strategies.Methods:From 2016 to 2023, a stratified sampling method was used to conduct surveillance in 33 counties (cities, districts, hereinafter referred to as counties) in Lunan area of Shandong Province. Each county was divided into five areas (east, south, west, north, and center), with one administrative village (community) selected from each area. And ≥200 permanent residents (aged ≥3 years old, having lived locally for ≥6 months) were sampled from each village (community), and one stool sample was collected from each participant. The Kato-Katz method (two slides per sample) was used for parasite detection, and the results were analyzed.Results:From 2016 to 2023, a total of 49 436 people were surveyed, including 23 861 males and 25 575 females, with an age range of 3 - 105 years old. The testing identified 687 intestinal helminth infections, with an overall infection rate of 1.39%. The predominant infection was whipworm (582 cases), with an infection rate of 1.18%; followed by roundworm and hookworm, with infection rates of 0.13% (62 cases) and 0.05% (23 cases) respectively; other types of helminths ( Clonorchis sinensis and pinworm) totaled 20 cases, with an infection rate of 0.04%. From 2016 to 2023, the annual intestinal helminth infection rates were 2.76% (201/7 292), 0.90% (56/6 327), 0.84% (52/6 200), 1.70% (124/7 282), 1.23% (88/7 133), 1.45% (104/7 150), 0.34% (17/5 058), and 1.46% (45/3 084), showing an overall downward trend (χ 2trend = 42.40, P < 0.001). The ≥60 age group had the highest intestinal helminth infection rate (2.39%, 323/13 489), while the 30 - 39 age group had the lowest rate (0.68%, 48/7 016). There was statistically significant difference in infection rates among different age groups (χ 2 = 172.25, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in infection rates between genders (χ 2 = 0.03, P = 0.862). Farmers had the highest infection rate (1.69%, 560/33 118), with statistically significant differences among different occupational groups (χ 2 = 64.88, P < 0.001). Those with primary school education or below had the highest infection rate (1.82%, 445/24 469), with statistically significant differences among different education levels (χ 2 = 64.93, P < 0.001). Conclusions:In Lunan area of Shandong Province, whipworm is the predominant intestinal helminth infection, with elderly people being the high-risk group. Although the intestinal helminth infection rate in this region remains at a low level, there is still a risk of transmission. Continuous surveillance is needed, along with strengthened prevention and control measures for key populations.
