| Abstract | ||
| Intestinal parasitic infections were investigated in Amman, Jordan, during the period extending from 2003 until 2005. A total number of 1280 specimens were included in the study. Entamoeba histolytica was found to be the most prevalent parasite with an infection rate of 27.81%. The highest incidence of this infection was during spring and summer seasons and at an early age (1-10 years). Helminthic infections were uncommon during this survey. | ||
