  abstract = {{I}vermectin treatment was administered every 3 months over a 1-year period ({A}pril 1993-{A}pril 1994) to the whole eligible population of a village in {S}outh {C}ameroon where both #{A}scaris lumbricoides$ and #{T}richuris trichiura$ were hyper-endemic. {A} parasitological stool examination was performed before each treatment. {T}hirty children, aged 5-15 years, were not only found egg-positive for #{A}. lumbricoides$ and/or #{T}. trichiura$ before the first treatment but were also each treated and examined in each treatment round. {A}mong these children, the intensity of infection with #{A}. lumbricoides$ decreased significantly following the first treatment but thereafter remained steady. {I}n contrast, the repeated ivermectin treatments had no significant impact on the intensity of the #{T}. trichiura$ infections or on the prevalence of infection with #{T}. trichiura$ or #{A}. lumbricoides$ among the 30 children.
