    Abstract:
    In order to establish the rational organization of a mass campaign intended to control intestinal parasites in villages of a rural zone in Lower Zaïre, a prevalence study was made of a total population of 3,056 inhabitants. Coprologic examination allowed to determine the following mean levels of prevalence: Ascaris, Lumbricoides 57 per cent, ankylostoma 51 per cent, Stronglyoides stercoralis 14 per cent and Trichuris trichiura 11 per cent. In a prospective survey of nine months allowed to determine the optimal therapeutic coverage to be realized in the municipalities concerned using the epidemiological date as a reference.
