Intestinal Parasites in Man in Labrador, Canada

Terrence D. Sole AND Neil A. Croll
Institute of Parasitology, McGill University, Macdonald College, Ste.-Aune-de-Believue, P.Q., Canada H9X 1C0

Labrador, a previously unsurveyed area of Canada, has been sampled for human intestinal parasites. Four hundred and one asymptomatic volunteers between 1 and 72 years of age, including Inuit, Naskapi and whites, were examined during the summer of 1977. They harboured: Entamoeba coli, E. histolytica, E. hartmanni, Giardia lamblia and Diphyllobothrium sp. The infection rates are considerably lower than those found in other studies of Northern Canadian communities.

Accepted for publication September 1, 1979.
