ABSTRACT
An evaluation was made of the risk of contamination by faecal parasites in the population from the use of wastewater in agriculture. The study was based in 3 rural clusters in the northern region of Settat city, Morocco 2 rural clusters exposed to untreated wastewater in agriculture and 1 not exposed. The sample comprised 333 people aged 3-60+ years 214 exposed and 119 non-exposed. Stool samples were collected and examined for intestinal parasites. The results showed that the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis [i.e. evidence of at least 1 type of parasite] in the exposed group was significantly higher that the non-exposed group [66.4% versus 31.9%; relative risk 2.1]. The household crowding index was also higher in the exposed group
