The study aimed to analyze the changes in intestinal parasitic diseases in Jiangxi Province from 1989 to 2014 to inform prevention strategies.
Data was collected from national surveys in 1989 and 2014, revealing an 87.89% decline in the prevalence of human intestinal parasites, from 79.59% to 9.64%.
The findings showed that while the number of parasite species decreased, soil-transmitted nematodes remained the most common parasites, with higher prevalence rates in females across all age groups.
