- In May 2012, a study in 11 echinococcosis-endemic counties in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan involved testing 5,171 children for serum anti-echinococcus IgG using ELISA.
- The overall sero-positive rate was 0.8%, with a higher rate in females (1.0%) compared to males (0.7%), and slightly higher in non-urban schools (0.9%) than urban schools (0.7%).
- Additionally, minority children showed a higher positive rate (1.0%) compared to Han nationality children (0.2%), and the total positive rate for children in 2012 significantly declined compared to previous years.
Article Abstract
In May 2012, 11 echinococcosis-endemic counties in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan were chosen, and two primary schools were randomly selected in each county from urban and non-urban area. Serum anti-echinococcus IgG was detected by ELISA. Among 5 171 sampled children, the sero-positive rate was 0.8% (43/5 171). The rate in males and females was 0.7% (17/2 538) and 1.0% (26/2 633), respectively (chi2 = 1.581, P > 0.05). The sero-positive rate in urban schools and non-urban schools was 0.7% (14/2 078) and 0.9% (29/3 093), respectively (chi2 = 1.050, P > 0.05). The positive rate in the minorities (1.0%, 41/4273) was higher than that of the Han nationality (0.2%, 2/898)(chi2 = 4.884, P < 0.05). Compared with 2010, 2011, the total positive rate of children in 2012 declined significantly (chi2 = 112.945, P < 0.01).
