This study was done to determine prevalence of intestinal parasites in primary school children in Bandpay. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in 1999. Stool samples from all children were examined by direct and flocculation methods. The data analyzed by Chi-square test. Findings: From all of 3429 students, 49.7% were male and 50.3% were female. 28.5% of them were infected. The frequency of the most important kinds of intestinal parasites were as follows: Giardia 21.4%, Entamoeba coli 3.4%, Hymenolepis nana 1.3%, Enterobius vermicularis 0.7%, Trichostrongylus 0.6%, Trichocephale 0.5% and Entamoeba histolytica 0.3%. X² test showed that the boys were significantly infected more than the girls by all kinds of parasites (P=0.0001). Conclusion: According to the results, Giardia is the most common parasite in this region and the boys were infected more than the girls. Education of school children and people in the field of health program and chlorination of water supply are necessary for prevention of parasite transmission.M GhahramanlooMR Hassanjani RoshanM Haji AhmadiBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticleintestinal parasitesprevalenceprimary school childrenMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 3, Iss 2, Pp 47-51 (2001)
