Abstract

Helminthological parasites for inhabitants in Boeun-Gun, Chungbuk province were survyed. Total infection rate was 21.4% and helminth ova of-seven species were observed: Clonorchis sinensis 11.7%, Metagonimus sp. 7.0%, Echinostoma hortense 2.7%, Taenia sp. 2.3%, Ascaris lumbri-coides 0.8%, Trichuris trichiura 1.6% and Enterobius vermicularis 3.5%. Infection rate of food-transmitted helminths (C. sinensis, Metagonimus sp. E.hortense, Taenia sp.) was 76.4% (42/55), soil-transmitted helminths (A.lumbricoides, T. trichiura) was 7.3% (4/55), contageous helminths(E. vermicularis) was 16.3% (9/55). Multiple infection rate was 30.9% and most of them were limited in snail-transmitted helminths(C.sinensis, Melagonimas sp., E. hortense). Infection rate of male (18. 3%) was higher than those of female (3.1%). Intensities of C.sinensis and Metagonimus sp. were light or moderate, showed 530 and 444 by mean E.P.G. respectively. In this survey, we newly found the small endemic areas of E.hortense, which was previously reported sporadically in Korea other than in Chungbuk province.
