In Accra City and five rural villages near Accra, human parasites and nutritional status were examined in 269 preschool children. Nine species parasites were recognized. Nutritional status was determined by the measurement of weight and height. Malnutrition was frequently found in the children belonged to the age group 0-5 years. The infective rates of parasites in children were 58.0% in the normal nutritional status and 25.0% in the malnutritional status. Infective rate was higher for the well-nourished children and was lower in the malnutritional children. We also recognized that infective rates of parasites differed from species of parasites.
