[New possibilities of diagnosing intestinal helminthiasis by flotation of ova in a honey medium].

Aqueous honey solution of 1350 specific weight, was used as a medium for flotation of intestinal helminth eggs. By the method of Lörincz 446 stools of soldiers were examined by parallel flotation in honey and glycerine. By flotation in honey solution helminth eggs were found in 168 (37,6%) and by flotation in glycerin in 96 (21,5%) which made the difference of 72 (16,1%). The most commonly were found: Trichuris trichuria eggs in honey solution in 108 (24,2%) stools and in glycerin in 86 (15,2%); Ascaris lumbricoides eggs in honey solution in 39 (8,7%) stools and, in glycerin in 10 (2,2%); while eggs of other intestinal helminths were rarely found and if they were found their number was approximately same obtained by both methods. Aqueous honey solution has shown to be a very suitable medium for flotation of intestinal helminth eggs, especially in cases when stools contain a small number of eggs and that mainly immature eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides which can be hardly found by flotation in glycerin.

The epidemiology of human intestinal helminthiasis in Ibadan, South Western Nigeria.

An epidemiological survey of human faeces collected from open places in native quarters and from volunteers in modern housing areas was conducted so as to ascertain the intestinal helminth infections in Ibadan a town in South Western Nigeria. Out of four hundred and seventy eight stool samples examined between February 1980 and January 1981 in twenty nine localities grouped into 7 zones, Ascaris (Round worm) Trichuris (Whip worm) and hookworm were most prevalent. Ascaris and hookworms were three times as prevalent in native areas as in modern quarters. Two local dispensary records confirmed many reported cases of 'stomach aches' that responded to deworming therapy. The public health significance of open field defecation is discussed. The need to resuscitate the public sanitary inspectors' act as practiced prior to the country's independence in 1960 is also advocated.

[Variation of helminthiasis incidence in Reunion as a function of different parameters].

Four years after Picot's experiments on parasitic diseases in Réunion Island, and after a large sanitation campaign, the authors valued the effect of this campaign on parasitic incidence. They showed that it had significantly decreased. At the same time, they pointed out the leading part of water quality in parasitic incidence; particularly, they showed that there are twice less Ascaridiasis when water is bacteriologically and chemically safe.
