To study the prevalence of intestinal worm infestations among the healthy adult rural
populatio~ 333 stool samples were coHected form 8 villages under Fulbaria thana of
Mymensingh district by systematic random sampling technique. Stool samples were
examined under microscope for the presence of intestinal parasites. The gross prevalence
of parasites was 33.3% of which 35.8% were in females and 27.9% in males. Significant
difference of intestinal parasite infestation was observed in different age group and the
highest prevalence (40%) was found among the age group of 18-35 years. Significant
