Ascariasis (Ascaris lumbricoides) Prevalence in Urban and Rural Areas of District Bareilly

Abstract

The burden of ascariasis continues to disproportionately influence certain populations. This research seeks to analyze the prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides among different age groups and sexes residing in urbanized or agricultural areas. Results show increased contamination in urban males aged 15 to 30 and rural females aged from 15 to50 years. The paper reflects on these observed patterns and their potential implications for preventive health initiatives. There are many different pathways, but the main challenge remains— to face adapting, cooperating and caring for all infected by this parasitical illness.
