PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 09/18/09
Mupfasoni D et al. – The present data suggest that the levels of polyparasitism, and infection intensities in the Rwandan individuals examined here may be lower as compared to other recent similar epidemiological studies in different regions across sub–Saharan Africa. Neither the odds of anaemia nor the odds of stunting were found to be significantly different in the three–polyparasite infection profiles. However, the odds of wasting were higher in those children with at least two parasites at M+ intensity compared to those children with the reference profile.
