Abstract

A total of 860 cellotape anal swab specimens from 326 school children of urban area, 243 of rura1 farm village and 291 of rural fishing village was submitted for Enterobius vermicularis egg detection from September through November 1985. Each specimen was collected in the morning. Among the total 860 children's submitting specimens, 316 (36.7 per cent) were positive for E. vermicularis eggs. Of the 326 children in the urban area, E. vermicularis eggs were detected in the 45 (13.8 per cent). This detection rate was lower significantly as compared with 143 (55.6 per cent) of 243 children in the farm village or 136 (46.7 per cent) of 291 children in the fishing village. The egg detection rate in the male children was lower remarkably than that in the female children.
