The expulsion of A. lumbricoides with a 3-day treatment of mebendazole occurred over 8 days, beginning on the second day of treatment. Ninety-seven percent of the worms were expelled between the second and seventh days. A rapid means of estimating eggs per gram (epg) by the Kato Katz technique correlated well with the method described by Martin &amp; Beaver (1968). In spite of apparent density dependence in egg production, <jats:italic>A. lumbricoides<\/jats:italic> egg counts correlated well with worm burdens. It is concluded that, within the context of community surveys, epg is a reasonable means of identifying heavily infected individuals and that epg can be estimated rapidly by a slight modification to the standard Kato Katz technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s003118200006131x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,5]],"date-time":"2009-06-05T14:42:16Z","timestamp":1244212936000},"page":"303-308","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Measurement of <i>Ascaris lumbricoides<\/i> infection intensity and the dynamics of expulsion following treatment with mebendazole"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"J.
