Abstract
In the examination of 6 fecal samples from each of 100 Eskimos Endamoeba histolytica was not found. Diphyllobothrium occurred in 6% and Enterobius vermicularis in 43% of this group. Of the 300 Eskimos skin-tested for trichina, 1.6% were positive reactors and 3.2% of the 366 Eskimos skin-tested for hydatid disease were positive reactors.Keywords
