Socioeconomic Predictors of Intestinal Parasitic Infections Among Under-Five Children in Rural Dembiya Northwest Ethiopia: A Community-Based Cross-sectional Study

摘要

Soil-transmitted helminths and protozoan parasitic infections are endemic throughout the world. The problem of intestinal parasitic infection is higher among developing countries where children are the most vulnerable groups. Although health information related to parasitic infections is available globally, it is often limited in rural setups in least developed countries. This study was, therefore, conducted to assess socioeconomic predictors of intestinal parasitic infections among under-five children in rural Dembiya, Northwest Ethiopia.
