This study was carried out to elucidate the prevalence of intestinal helminthic infections in rural communities in Nepal. Of 231 inhabitants randomly sampled in Kotyang and Judigaun, 140 (60.6%) were found to be infected with some soil-transmitted helminths. The highest prevalence was observed in hookworm infection (52.8%), followed by <I>Trichuris trichiura</I> (18.6%) and Ascaris <I>lumbricoides</I> (11.3%) infections. Some inhabitants harboured <I>Vampirolepis nana</I> and liver fluke. The female group aged 60 years old and more showed significantly higher <I>T. trichiura</I> infection rate than the male group with the same age (p<0.05), while no relationship was detected between proportion of <I>T. trichiura</I> infection and age based on logistic regression test (p=0.07). Serum IgE levels of Nepalese were shown to be far higher than common Japanese levels, suggesting the repeated infections with these helminths.
