“…A single species, Ascaris lumbricoides, accounted for 87.5 per cent of all helminthic infections. The age groups 3–5 years ( n = 64) and 6–10 years ( n = 57) among Roma had the highest prevalence of these infections at 31.3 per cent and 30.2 per cent, respectively [ 27 ]. In Medzev, 36 km west of Košice, 85 per cent of Roma children ( n = 60) had helminthic infections vs. 23.8 per cent of non-Roma children ( n = 21).…”

“…Notwithstanding the instances mentioned above, Roma have a higher occurrence of communicable diseases than non-Roma. The most common reasons hypothesised by authors for the higher rates of disease are lack of water, poor sanitation and hygiene, crowded living spaces, high-risk sexual behaviours, and exposure to animals and waste [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”

The Roma are Europe’s largest minority. They are also one of its most disadvantaged, with low levels of education and health and high levels of poverty. Research on Roma health often reveals higher burdens of disease in the communities studied. This paper aims to review the literature on communicable diseases among Roma across Eastern and Central Europe. A PubMed search was carried out for communicable diseases among Roma in these parts of Europe, specifically in Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and North Macedonia. The papers were then screened for relevance and utility. Nineteen papers were selected for review; most of them from Slovakia. Roma continue to have a higher prevalence of communicable diseases and are at higher risk of infection than the majority populations of the countries they live in. Roma children in particular have a particularly high prevalence of parasitic disease. However, these differences in disease prevalence are not present across all diseases and all populations. For example, when Roma are compared to non-Roma living in close proximity to them, these differences are often no longer significant.

Infeksi cacing parasit dapat mempengaruhi konsentrasi siswa sekolah dasar dalam menerima pelajaran di sekolah. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui prevalensi cacing parasit yang menginfeksi anak Sekolah Dasar di Kecamatan Rakumpit. Pemeriksaan keberadaan telur cacing meliputi memberikan kuisioner, pengambilan sampel feses, pengerjaan feses menggunakan metode Kato- Katz, identifikasi telur cacing. Hasil penelitian ini yaitu karakteristik anak SD yang tertinggi yaitu tidak memakai alas kaki saat bermain. Distribusi spesies cacing parasit yang ditemukan yaitu Ascaris lumbricoides, Toxocara sp., Taenia sp., dan Fasciolopsis sp. Prevalensi cacing parasitik tertinggi yaitu Ascaris lumbricoides sebesar 69,38%. Intensitas cacing paling banyak ditemukan yaitu Ascaris lumbricoides sebesar 83%. Anak Sekolah Dasar tidak memakai alas kaki pada saat bermain erat kaitannya dengan prevalensi dan intensitas cacing di Kecamatan Rakumpit.
