Abstract
The prevalence of Strongyloides stercoralis and other enteroparasites was studied in Menoufia Governorate. 565 stool & 500 serum samples were examined by direct smear, zinc sulphate, stool culture & IFAT using ultrasonicated non digested non fixed filariform larva as antigen. IFAT proved superior than the direct methods since it detected 11.1% of cases while the latter detected only up to 3.4%. The prevalence of enteroparasites was found to be 62.3%. E. histolytica and A. lumbricoides showed the highest incidence while Taenia showed the lowest incidence.Entities:
