Abstract

Pathogenic protozoans, helminths, and nematodes are the primary reasons for diarrheal, vomiting, and stomach obstructions among babies and younger children. However, enteric helminths are now not viewed as serious sickness agents as the contamination is typically asymptomatic. The intestinal parasite's highest prevalence (34.78%) was recorded in the 5-15 years age group. The prevalence of Ascaris infection was highest (10%) in Urban areas of district Bareilly followed by Entamoeba (8.39%), pinworm (7.74%), and Giardia (3.87%) and hookworm (0.65%).
