Abstract | ||||
Intestinal parasitic infection was investigated in Ramadi, Iraq, during the period extending from 1992 until 1997. A total number of 6330 cases were included in the study. Giardia lamblia was found to be the most prevalent parasite with an infection rate of 34.50% in the first period of study (1992-1994) and 56.2% in the second period of study (1995-1997). Giardiasis had higher incidence during hot seasons. This infection is acquired in early age (110 years). | ||||
