“…Rosewell et al 20 compiled data from four departments revealing an STH infection rate of 46%, with heterogeneous prevalence and intensities, and T. trichiura being the most common infective species (34.7%). Muñoz-Antoli et al 21 found 52.9% STH infection, with T. trichiura reaching 43.2% in Department of Rio San Juan and, recently, Muñoz-Antoli et al 22 found a total helminth prevalence of 76.7%, with a dominance of T. trichiura (72.4%) light intensity infections, in Laguna de Perlas (RAAS). Concerning Corn Islands, there is, however, only one previous survey dating back 25 years, 23 revealing a prevalence of 41% of roundworms Moreover, anemia is considered a moderate public health problem in Nicaragua in children less than 6 years of age.…”

“…The parasite spectrum detected in Nicaraguan preschool children, with a total of at least 20 species, constitutes a parasitic framework larger than that known for schoolchildren in Nicaragua to date. 13,14,[16][17][18] The departments presented differences with respect to species, even with regard to parasite prevalences, likely to be due to advances in public health, as well as measures within the national deworming program against soil-transmitted helminthes. 21,22 According to the results obtained, B. hominis was the most prevalent intestinal species (45.5%), which is in line with a study conducted in schoolchildren from the Nicaraguan Corn Island archipelago (41%), although Blastocystis with Isospora was diagnosed in that study.…”

“…13 Nevertheless, in the present study, the prevalence was lower compared with the two school-based studies carried out in the other two Caribbean departments of Nicaragua (always with a prevalence above 50%). 17,18 In other Caribbean countries, B. hominis prevalence in schoolchildren are considerably lower. [23][24][25] In the entire study, G. intestinalis with a prevalence of 31.7% was the second most prevalent intestinal species in preschool children.…”
