| Abstract |
The study reports the prevalence of Ov/ MIF and Taenia infections among inhabitants of the
Kenethao district. Fecal samples from 580 were examined by FECT. The prevalence of
Ov/MIF, Taenia spp., and co-infection was 45.3%, 11.9%, and 6.1%, respectively. There was
no significant difference between males and females for Ov/MIF ( P = 0. 813) and Taenia infection (P = 0. 759). The prevalence of Ov/MIF was significantly associated with age ( P =0.005), but it did not happen for Taenia infection (P = 0.836). Consumption of raw fish (P = 0.001) and raw meat (P = 0.046) was significantly associated with parasitic infections. The results suggest that Ov/MIF and Taenia spp. are highly endemic in this area and there is a need for projects to eliminate these parasites. |
