“…The prevalence observed in this study was lower than the 52.3% recorded by [18] among 2 to 12-years-old children in Baghdad and 86% in Turkey (Ankara) among 6 to 12-years-old children [19]. However, the result of this study was higher than the prevalence of 6.2% in Sri Lanka (Hambanatona district) [20], 7.1% in Iran (Mazandaran) [21], and 0.6% in Birbir town, southern Ethiopia [22].…”

Background: Enterobius vermicularis is an intestinal helminthic parasite that causes a gastrointestinal infection called enterobiasis. Children are more susceptible to infection than adults. The current study aimed to explore the prevalence of E. vermicularis infection among children in Erbil City concerning demographic factors and certain blood parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional and analytical study was conducted on 505 children (3-10 years). Cellophane tape samples and blood samples were taken from participants. The cellophane tape samples were examined microscopically, whereas blood samples were examined using the auto-analyzer and Cobas. Results: The overall prevalence of E. vermicularis infection was 27.13%, and the infection rate was non-significantly (P = 0.371) higher in females (28.85%) than in males (25.31%). The incidence of enterobiasis was directly proportional to family size. This study demonstrated that the mean serum total protein and iron levels were significantly decreased in infected children, while other trace element levels were not significantly affected. Conclusions: The prevalence of E. vermicularis is relatively lower than that in previous studies. Serum total protein and iron levels significantly decreased in the enterobiasis-positive group.

“…In a study investigating intestinal parasites in children in Turkey, cellophane tape samples were taken from 540 children, and Enterobius vermicularis was detected in 16.1% of the children (Altınöz et al, 2015). In other studies of the detection of Enterobius vermicularis in children the prevalence of the parasite varied between 7.7% and 28.0% (Yapıcı et al, 2008;Malatyalı et al, 2009;Keskin and Bektaş, 2014;Yentür Doni et al, 2014;Yazgan et al, 2015). In a study of adults between 1988 and 2012, this ratio was reported as 16%, and Enterobius vermicularis was found to be the second most common parasite (Kırkoyun Uysal et al, 2013).…”

Purpose This study was aimed to determine the presence of Enterobius vermicularis in workers in hospital kitchens in Ankara, Turkey and the levels of their food hygiene knowledge Design/methodology/approach The study included 270 employees of six catering companies that cater to hospitals in Ankara who agreed to participate in the study. Two-part questionnaires were used. The first part solicited demographic information, and the second part’s questions determined the workers’ personal hygiene knowledge. Samples taken from the participants to determine the presence of Enterobius vermicularis were collected using the cellophane application method. Findings The parasite was found in 78.1% of the personnel. The average hygiene knowledge scores were 58.94+18.1 on a 100-point scale. The changes introduced by the new "Food Hygiene Regulation" should be implemented without abolishing the food handler examination. Originality/value Food safety is an important issue that can affect lots of people. Food handlers are an important part for contamination of food. Because of this reason their hygiene knowledge and personal hygiene are very important. Because of high rate of Enterobius vermicularis the results show that they are not careful about their personal hygiene rules. So they can contaminate to food and can cause food-borne illnesses. The paper highlights the importance of education that affects food safety practices in food industry

“…Las variables relacionadas con la oxiuriasis documentadas en la literatura evidencian asociación con viviendas deficientes, manejo inadecuado de excretas, consumo de agua no tratada, ausencia de tratamiento antiparasitario en los últimos seis meses, desconocimiento de los padres de la parasitosis, el hábito en los menores de "chupar dedo", corte de uñas poco frecuente y fómites, entre otras. En la presente investigación las variables que mostraron valores de p≤0,05 y OR con significancia estadística para la adquisición de la parasitosis fueron: poseer computador como elemento fómite y hacinamiento en el cuarto dormitorio del menor (25,33).…”

El presente artículo busca determinar la prevalencia de Enterobius vermicularis y variables asociadas en población preescolar y escolar del área urbana del municipio de Chaguaní y dos jardines en Cajicá, Cundinamarca, Colombia. Para esto se realizó un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal con toma única de muestra en la población mencionada en 44 y 42 participantes, respectivamente, cuyos padres aceptaron participar voluntariamente firmando un consentimiento para desarrollar una encuesta epidemiológica estructurada, que indagó condiciones socioeconómicas, epidemiológicas y medioambientales. El diagnóstico parasitológico se realizó con la técnica de Graham. Los participantes se distribuyeron por grupo etario: el primero estuvo conformado por 76 niños (88,4 %) con edades entre 1,5 y 8 años; el segundo, por 7 niños mayores de 8 años (8,1%), y el tercero, por 3 niños (3,5 %) sin información al respecto. La variable con significancia estadística (p≤0.05) y posible asociación protectora fue la asistencia médica trimestral y como posible riesgo el contacto con fómites. Así, se encontró que la oxiuriasis es una parasitosis prevalente en la población preescolar y escolar, asociada a condiciones higiénico-sanitarias deficientes.
