Abstrakt: Helminthological examinations of 2629 persons of different ages have shown that the prevalence rate of soil-transmitted helminths averages 54.24% of the examinees. There isa high rate of helminthiasis in the examined dwellers from two districts (Vanch and Faizobod) in the foothill and mountain zones (78.23% and 67.5%, respectively) and its low rate in the Murgab district in the high-altitude area. The non-observance of personal hygiene and sanitary standards and the use of water from open contamination-unprotected water sources contribute to intensive invasion of the population with helminthes.
