    Abstract:
    In this study, an attempt was made to compare and correlate findings of a Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) survey carried out using WHO sampling methodology for school children and community survey by random sampling. The prevalence and intensity of STH in the age-group of 9-10 yrs reportedly represent community status. The results showed that the STH prevalence and intensity in the age-group of 9-10 years do represent community burden. However, more such surveys will have to be carried out to substantiate this statement.
