Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the study is to improve and enhance health of school children, focusing on prevention and control of intestinal parasite infections which is one of the perpetual public health problems in Laos. The group receiving divided doses while also engaging in hand washing showed the highest reduction rate of eggs as Ascaris Lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and Hookworms. The other groups were little bit decreases in their pre-control levels. Regardless of the doses, at least for Ascaris Lumbricoides, a certain degree of anthelmintic effect is obtained, and reinfection can be prevented by hand washing. These results suggest that both the deworming and the health education targeting school children could influence the behavior of the villagers on the parasite infection prevention.
