Objective:To analyze the epidemic status of soil-transmitted nematode in Jiangjin District with the purpose of providing scientific basis for making measurements for prevention and treatment.Methods:5 settlements of different life styles and farming methods were extracted from 4 towns separately located in east
west
north
and south by convenience sampling approach with Xianfeng Town as the center.500 samples were taken from every settlement
and the samples were tested in accordance with national soil-transmitted nematodes test program.Results:2645 people from 5 settlements were tested in the way of pathologic examination.Only roundworm and hookworm were found while whipworm was not.The highest hookworm infection rate was up to 9.57%
and the roundworm infection rate was only 0.77%.Soil-transmitted nematode infection rate was 10.1%.Rural areas had a higher infection rate than urban and the vegetable base had the highest.Conclusion:Infection rate of rural communities is higher than urban residents
with vegetable base the highest infection rate.Common intestinal parasite infection rate declines.The population of older age
with low education level
and engaged in agricultural production are still the key group of soil-transmitted nematode infection.
