In this sample eggs of N. americanus are seen in 14,7% of the specimens in Louda and 9,3% in Damesma. Eggs of H. nana are seen in 10% of the specimens, for the two villages.

[Hepatic distomatosis caused by Clonorchis/Opisthorchis spp. in refugees from South-East Asia. Effects of treatment with praziquantel].

The prevalence of liver infection (percentage of patients voiding Clonorchis or Opistorchis spp. eggs in faeces) is 18.5% in the South East Asian refugees. Both sexes are equally affected and the older the refugees are, the more often they are found infected. Laotians, who like to eat the fishes raw, are harboring leverflukes more often than other Far-east inhabitants. Praziquantel, prescribed at a dose of 25 mg/kg body weight given 3 times on a single day, is very efficient in the treatment of the Far-east hepatic distomatosis. Tolerability to praziquantel is excellent. Side effects are few and of moderate intensity.

[Human activities, hydro-agricultural management and urinary schistosomiasis. Methodological approach and results (a preliminary study in Upper-Volta)].

In the schistosomiasis endemic sub-sahelian region, a study of the prevalence of the disease was carried out on three different areas: the highest was around a small river, the lowest in the hydro-agricultural management region, mean prevalence was noted around a natural lake. Human activities have been classified with regards to the areas of transmission. Activity is closely linked to prevalence. For the populations, symptoms of urinary schistosomiasis (Rudzenga) constitute a real disease, traditional healers are the masters of earth (Tengsoba), water has hardly any importance in transmission.

[Epidemiological study of intestinal helminthiases (ascariasis, necatoriasis, taeniasis, and bilharziasis) in the town of Maroua (North Cameroon). Results of the treatment of the population with mebendazole].

Prevalence of intestinal helminthiasis: 970 stool specimens are examined in Doualare and 999 in Doursongo (Maroua) North Cameroon. In this sample eggs of T. saginata are seen in 14.0% of the specimens, eggs of A. lumbricoides in 5.1%, N. americanus in 5.8% and S. mansoni in 2.1%. Eggs of T. trichiura, S. stercoralis and H. nana are found in less than 2% of the specimens. Stool examinations are performed in Doursongo before and after treatment with mebendazole: 94.1% of the inhabitants with A. lumbricoides eggs in their stools are free of this parasite after treatment, with T. trichiura 83.3% are cured.
