	141.	Research Prevalence and risk factors of helminths and intestinal protozoa infections among children from primary schools in western Tajikistan Barbara Matthys, Mohion Bobieva, Gulzira Karimova, Zulfira Mengliboeva, Vreni Jean-Richard, Malika Hoimnazarova, Matluba Kurbonova, Laurent K Lohourignon, Jürg Utzinger, Kaspar Wyss Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:195 (7 October 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary We assessed the extent of helminth and intestinal protozoan infections among 7- to 11-year-old schoolchildren in western Tajikistan using a cross-sectional survey design. The findings call for school-based deworming combined with hygiene promotion and improved sanitation in ecological ?lowland? areas, and for further investigations to determine if Hymenolepis nana represents a public health problem.
