title: [Evaluation of parasitic risks for the population bordering on the Mbeubeuss public waste disposal, Dakar].
abstract: The authors carried out a parasitologic survey on 367 inhabitants of Malika, a village located in the immediate surroundings of M'Beubeuss disposal, as well as on 433 other residents of Keur Massar, a location 2 km farther, in order to assess parasitic hazards encountered by people neighbouring this disposal. As far as intestinal parasitosis are concerned, the prevalence rate was significantly higher in Malika (61.3%) than in Keur Massar (48.5%) The sex, social and economic status, level of education as well as the time of dwelling in the neighbouring area were identified as the risk factors of intestinal parasitism. Only the last one can be considered as significantly and independently related to a risk of intestinal parasitism. As for malaria, the plasmodial index in Malika was 6% versus 7.6% in Keur Massar (no significant difference). Thus, if it does exist for neighbouring people, an infestation risk by intestinal parasites related to exposure duration, contrarily, it does not exist for malaria. Appropriate steps should be taken to prevent the hazards encountered by inhabitants of surrounding villages.
