Abstract:
The aim of the studies was to establish the prevalence of Giardia intestinalis in Szczecin population. The studies were carried out in 1991 - 1996. In this period 46,584 persons--22,371 adults and 24,213 children were examined. Faecal samples were examined with two methods--coprological and immunoenzymatic (ELISA) test. A total of 356 persons (0.78%) were found to be infected with G. intestinalis. No statistically significant differences between the infection rate of adults and children were observed. The adults were infected in 0.73% and the children in 0.80%. The analysis of the annual dynamics of G. intestinalis infection shows twice as large infection rate in September - October (1.18%) as in the remaining months (0.66%).
