ABSTRACT
Of the 806 people in Gebaba Village; 192 were examined for intestinal parasites. The overall prevalence was 61 per cent. The mean intensity of infestation for A. lumbricoides generally fell with age. Of the total nematode egg counts; 41 per cent was harboured by children below 10 years of age. The cure rate with a single dose of levamisole (Ketrax) for A. lumbricoides was 94 per cent and for T. trichiura and Hookworm 100 per cent. The study has an important implication in understanding the epidemiology of intestinal parasites and in the design of community based control programmes
