Prevalence and Risk Factor of Intestinal Helminthiasis and Lymphatic Filariasis

This study was undertaken to ascertain the prevalence and risk factors for intestinal helminthiasis and lymphatic filariasis co-infection in Idumuje-Unor, a rural community in Delta State. Sedimentation and formalin ethyl acetate concentration was carried out for the determination of helminth eggs in the stool samples. The Filarial Test Strip (AlereTM) and rapid diagnosis test were used to confirm positivity for lymphatic filariasis. DNA extraction and PCR amplification of Wuchereria bancrofti () genes was carried out.
