ABSTRACT
An epidemiological survey was carried out in May 1990 to determine the prevalence of intestinal helminth infections in children (0-5years) living in the Moyamba District; Southern Province; Sierra Leone. On the basis of nematode eggs and larvae observed during microscopic examination of stools samples obtained from 305 children; evidence for infections with the following species of helminth (per cent prevalence) was obtained ascaris lumbricoides (28.2); necator americanus (19.3); trichuris trichiura (10.8); strongyloides fuellborni (8.9); strongyloides stercoralis (4.3) and enterobious vermicularis (0.7)
