“…Çalışmanın başında Osmancalı İlköğretim Okulu'nda %17.20, Maldan İlköğretim Okulu'nda ise %12.50 oranlarında P. capitis infestasyonu saptanmıştır. Bu oranların önceki bir çalışma-mızda 19 değerlendirdiğimiz şehir merkezine uzak bir İlk-öğretim Okulu'ndaki %23 oranından düşük, daha yakın iki ilköğretim okulundaki oranlardan (%5.30 ve %3.40) ise yüksek olduğu dikkati çekicidir 24 .…”

“…There are direct relation between infection with intestinal parasites and socioeconomic status. In area with low hygienic condition there are more infection with intestinal parasite and many studies reports these parasites in low socioeconomic status area [2][3][4][5][6]. For control of these parasites it's require the good planning and good studies for determination of epidemiological researches and data about different area.…”

This epidemiological study carried out in Hivi pediatric hospital and central lab. In Duhok and Erbil cities/ northern Iraq. The sample collection was from the June to the August 2016 (3 months) and about 77 stools samples were collected from diarrheal patient. 47 samples in Duhok city and 35 samples in Erbil city. Methods:By microscopic fecal examination all stools samples were examined by direct wet smear and iodine staining.Results: Entamoeba species and Giardia lamblia were found in stools sample of diarrheal patients. Entamoeba species parasite was higher than Giardia lamblia in both Duhok and Erbil cities. In this study the rate of Enamoeba species and Giardia lamblia in Duhok city was 11(26.1%)and 4(9.5%) respectively, and in Erbil city the rate of infection by Enamoeba species and Giardia lamblia was 8(22.8%)and 2(5.7%) respectively.

Stool samples of a total of 2,047 people in Izmir province were examined by wet mount, formalin ethyl acetate concentration, and trichrome staining methods with an aim to reveal the prevalence of intestinal parasites in Izmir together with related personal and environmental risk factors. Geographical mapping showing the density and variation of the species of intestinal parasites in Izmir was done after all maps were scaled, and the coordinates were determined with GeoMedia5.0. The prevalence of the intestinal parasites was found to be 25.6% in Izmir, with a variation between the districts. Blastocystis hominis was the leading parasite, and the prevalence of parasites was higher in children compared to adults; however, the difference was statistically insignificant. There was also no significant difference between the parasite prevalence and sex, marital status, education, income, frequent eating outside, and habitual raw meat eating. Significant differences were found between the parasite prevalence and crowded families, early immigrants, individuals with no social security, and people living in close contact with their livestock. The parasites were found to be less common among individuals who had been drinking bottled water and living in a house with a sewage system. The results demonstrated a correlation between the intestinal parasites and environmental conditions in our study group. We further plan to expand the study group to cover all regions of Turkey.
