Comparative Study of the Incidence of Co-infection of Soil-transmitted Helminths and Helicobacter pylori among Children and Women of Reproductive Age Living in Slum Settlements in Rivers State, Nigeria

Abstract: Background: Soil-transmitted parasites, bacterial and other biological contaminants constitute the major causes of food-borne diseases often transmitted through food and water borne routes contaminated with faeces in developing countries. Children and Women of reproductive age (WRA) have high of getting infected and being potential sources of pathogenic micro-organisms. Objective: This study was aimed to assess and compare the prevalence and risk factors of soil-transmitted helminths and Helicobacter pyl… Show more

“…The feces were pressed out from the intestine and was introduced into a specimen container, it was emulsified with a saline water, sieved into a container, then introduced into a centrifuge tube, and was centrifuged under 3500rpm for 10minutes. After centrifugation, the precipitate was filtered out from the sediment, the sediment was dropped on a slide with a drop of iodine and was covered with a cover slip, it was then view with microscope under the magnification of X40 for parasitological examination [9][10][11][12].…”
