ABSTRACT
An epidemiological survey in September 1991 investigated the prevalence (per cent) and intensity (epg) of soil-transmitted helminth infections in three communities (Rowollon; Kroo Bay and Foria); Sierra Leone. Evidence was found for infections with ascaris lumbricoides; hookworm (probably necator americanus); trichuris trichiura; strongyloides stercoralis and schistosoma mansoni; using a modified kato-katz technique
