The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of strongyloidiasis in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Sera from 1004 residents from a slum (group A) and 299 from city dwellers (group B) were tested for total IgG and IgG subclasses to<jats:italic>Strongyloides<\/jats:italic>antigen. There was a significant difference (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b7001) in IgG seroprevalence between group A (22%) and group B (5%). Reactive IgG subclasses (IgG1 and IgG4) were also higher in group A (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b705). The seroprevalence of strongyloidiasis in group A increased with age but was unrelated to sex. The presence of reactive IgG to<jats:italic>Strongyloides<\/jats:italic>antigen had no correlation with either socio-economic or personal hygiene factors. However, a history of diarrhoea in a family member, in the past 6 months, but not in the respondents was associated with detection of antibodies to<jats:italic>S. stercoralis<\/jats:italic>(<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b701). None of the sera from either group had an HTLV-I reaction. This study demonstrates that strongyloidiasis is prevalent in Dhaka, especially among slum dwellers, but concurrent infection with HTLV-I was not found. Future epidemiological studies should identify individual risk factors and other communities at risk so that appropriate interventions can be planned.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182012000753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,20]],"date-time":"2012-07-20T23:51:27Z","timestamp":1342828287000},"page":"1513-1520","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Seroepidemiology
