| Résumé : |
Gastrointestinal parasitic infections represent a major public health concern, particularly in regions with unfavorable socioeconomic, sanitary, and environmental conditions. This study aims to analyze the epidemiology of intestinal parasitic infections among the population of the Tipaza province.
The study is based on retrospective data collected in 2023 (1,503 patients) and 2024 (1,421 patients). Parasitological analyses were conducted at the Hygiene Laboratory of the Tipaza province, using stool samples examined by direct microscopy. The participants came from various segments of the population. The analysis of the samples revealed a clear predominance of protozoan infections, particularly Blastocystis spp. (59.4%), which proved to be the most frequently identified parasite throughout the study period. Other commonly detected protozoa included Entamoeba coli (21.42%, a non-pathogenic species), Endolimax nana (19.48%), Giardia intestinalis (10.38%, responsible for giardiasis), and Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (1.94%, which may be pathogenic or non-pathogenic). A few cases of helminthic infections were also identified, notably Enterobius vermicularis (1.14%, pinworm infection) and Chilomastix mesnili (0.64%), although these infestations were less common.
These findings indicate persistent population exposure to fecal-oral transmission routes, likely exacerbated by poor environmental conditions, limited access to clean water, and inadequate sanitation systems. This situation underscores the urgent need for sustainable prevention strategies, including health education, improved hygiene practices, safe water and food supplies, and regular screening and treatment campaigns, to effectively reduce the burden of intestinal parasitic infections in the Tipaza region.
