Prevalence of Eggs And Cyst of Parasites Under the Finger Nails of Primary School Children:
In tropical countries, parasitic infections remain a serious public health problem, in view of the high prevalence of protozoan and helminth infections.( Dada-Adegbola et al.,2005)) The World Health Organization has estimated that helminth infections affect around 2 billion people, among whom 5-10% are children under 24 months of age (Katz and Taylor 2001). Helminth infections may lead to malnutrition, anemia, and disturbed appetite (Adeyeba and Akinladi, 2002) and may ultimately result in retarded physical and cognitive development in children (Aisen et al., 2002).
