Abstract

Background: We are necessarily considering changes in the parasite infection rate and methods in Korea from 1970 to the present from the perspective of natural healing. Purposes: This study was to investigate how the difference in the rate of reduction in infection rate has changed and progressed to the present. Methods: A literature review was conducted. Results: Until the 1970s, Korea had one of the highest parasite infection rates. The Parasitic Disease Prevention Act was enacted to control the infection rate in 1966. From 1969, the nationwide national parasite management project was conducted for all students twice a year to treat all parasitic eggs until 1995. In addition, the government commissioned the Korean Association for Parasite Eradication (KAPE) to conduct a national parasite infection survey eight times, from 1971 to 2012, every two years. As a result, the overall egg positive rate of parasite was 84.3% in 1971 but decreased to 2.6% in 2012. In addition, Ascaris lumbricoides, Paragonimus westermani, Taenia spp., and intestinal protozoa were significantly reduced nationwide. Conclusions: Successful control in Korea is judged to have achieved a successful effect by systematically managing national economic growth, social consensus on parasite eradication, improved professional parasite prevention guidelines, and supply of effective anthelminthics.

배경: 본 연구는 1970년 때부터 현재까지 우리나라의 기생충 감염률의 변화와 관리에 대한 고찰은 자연치유적 관점에서도 필요하다고 본다. 목적: 연구 목적은 감염률이 어떠한 방법에 따라서 감소율의 변화가 현재까지 진행되었는지를 고찰해보는 것이었다. 방법: 문헌 조사를 하였다. 결과: 우리나라는 1970년대까지는 기생충 감염률이 가장 높은 국가 중 하나였다. 감염률을 관리하기 위하여 1966년에는 기생충병 예방법을 제정하였고, 1969년부터 전국적인 기생충 관리 국가사업을 전체 학생을 대상으로 1년에 2회 전체 기생충 충란 양성자에 대한 치료를 1995년까지 수행하였다. 정부는 한국기생충박멸협회에 위탁하여 구충 박멸사업을 2년 간격으로 1971년~2012년까지 8차례를 전국 기생충감염 실태조사를 하였다. 그 결과로 1971년에는 전체 기생충 충란 양성률이 84.3%이었으나 2012년에는 2.6%로 감소하였다. 회충, 폐흡충, 조충 및 장내 원충류는 전국적으로 매우 감소하였다. 결론: 우리나라에서의 성공적인 기생충 관리는 국가적 경제성장력의 증진과 동시에 기생충박멸에 대한 사회적 합의와 개선된 전문적인 기생충 예방지침과 유효한 구충제 공급 등이 체계적으로 관리하여 성공적인 효과를 이루었다고 판단한다. 그리고 자연치유적 관점에서도 중요하다고 생각한다.
