Prevalence of Taeniasis and Enterobiasis among Aboriginal Children in Mountainous Areas of Taiwan

過去近八年（1981-1989）間，在台灣六縣（台北、新竹、南投、宜蘭、花蓮及台東）八山地鄉（烏來、尖石、五峰、仁愛、大同、南澳、卓溪及蘭嶼）61所國民小學，於上午8-11時，應用透明膠帶肛圍擦拭法，檢查學生6,197人，發現92人絛蟲卵為陽性，平均傳染率1%。同時，在受檢6,667位學童中，發現665人蟯蟲卵為陽性，平均傳染率10％。絛蟲傳染率以宜蘭大同鄉學童為最高（3%)，惟在地區上則無顯著差異。蟯蟲傳染率以南投縣仁愛鄉學童為最高（17%)，台東縣蘭嶼鄉學量（2%)為最低。惟感染絛蟲及蟯蟲之學量在性另lJ上均無顯著差異。另一方面，在受檢二所國民小學中，山胞學童絛蟲之平均傳染率（3%)，非山胞學量均無傳染（0%）。惟在三所國小學量蟯蟲之傳染率，則後者（39%）顯較前者(5%）為高。基於檢查結果，證明山胞學量目前仍有生吃或吃不熟山野動物肌肉及內臟之習慣。

Children numbering 6,197 were tested for taeniasis. Those children were examined from May, 1981 to July, 1989. Sixty one primary schools, in eight mountainous districts provided the test group of children. The method used in these tests was the Scotch tape perianal swab. The overall infection rate of taeniasis was 1 %. A total of 6,667 children were also examined for enterobiasis and the infection rate was 10%. There was no significant difference in the rate of taeniasis and enterobiasis by sex. The infection of taeniasis was highest in Tatung District (3%), Ilan County. However, there was no significant difference among the rates by district. The prevalence of enterobiasis was highest in Jenai District (17%), Nantou County and lowest in Lanyu District (2%), Taitung County. Taeniasis was not found among non-aboriginal school children, while 3% of aboriginal school children were infected with Taenia. However, the infection rate of Enterobius vermicularis among non-aborigines (39%) was much higher than that among aborginal children (5%). These findings indicate that aboriginal children still eat raw meat and viscera of wild animals and acquire Taenia infection.
