Epidemiology of intestinal parasite infections and multiparasitism and their impact on growth and hemoglobin levels during childhood in tropical Ecuador: a longitudinal study using molecular detection methods

2025-03-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> There are few longitudinal epidemiological studies of intestinal parasitic infections (IPI) and their health effects. We studied the epidemiology and determinants of IPI and multiparasitism during childhood using molecular methods for parasite detection and analysed their effects on growth and hemoglobin levels. <h4>Methods</h4> Random sample of 401 children from an Ecuadorian birth cohort stud...
