The current study is a retrospective study which includes the results of 1068 stool sample and occult blood sample. The results obtained during last two years (2016–2017), were compared to the earlier reports of other regions. Attempts were made to find out the cases and trends of parasite incidence and to locate any differences between the current study results and the earlier reports.
