Parásitos intestinales en una comunidad Amerindia, Costa Rica: COSTA RICA

In Costa Rica there were three national surveys of intestinal parasitism (1966, 1982, and 1996) that showed dramatic reduction of the prevalence of Trichuris, Ascaris, and Necator/Ancylostoma (hookworms); however, these nematodes persist with high prevalence in low socio-economically groups, as the...
