Abstract

Objective: To determine the seropositive rates of Toxocara canis larvae in people in Cuor Knia Commune, Buon Don District, Dak Lak Province in 2020.

     Research subjects: The subjects were all the people of the ages of 3 and above who were permanent residents in Cuor Knia Commune, Buon Don District, Dak Lak Province.

     Methods: The study design was cross-sectional.

     Results and discussion:

- The seropositive rate of  Toxocara canis larvae accounted for 39.01%, in which the rates of male and female were almost the same (40.00% compared to 38.29%), ≥ 15-year-old group accounted for 42.80%, <15-year-old group accounted for 25.30%, (p < 0,01).

-There was a statistical relationship between the seropositivity rates for Toxocara canis larvae in agricultural occupations and students (48.8% compared to 15.8%), and between students and other occupations (15.8% compared to 30.9%), (p < 0.01). However, there was no statistical relationship between agricultural occupations and other occupations (48.8% compared to 30.9%).

- There was no significant relationship between ethnicity, education level and seropositivity rate for Toxocara canis larvae, (p>0.05).

-32.62% of the studied subjects had normal eosinophil index (<5%), and 79.19% increased (≥ 5%), (p < 0.05).
