Many Southeast-Asian countries report a high prevalence of <jats:italic>S. stercoralis<\/jats:italic> infection, but there are little data from Vietnam. Here, we evaluated the seroprevalence of <jats:italic>S. stercoralis<\/jats:italic> related to geography, sex and age in Vietnam through serological testing of anonymized sera. Sera (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1710, 1340 adults and 270 children) from an anonymized age-stratified serum bank from four regions in Vietnam between 2012 and 2013 were tested using a commercial <jats:italic>Strongyloides ratti<\/jats:italic> immunoglobulin G ELISA. Seroreactivity was found in 29\u00b71% (390\/1340) of adults and 5\u00b75% (15\/270) of children. Male adults were more frequently seroreactive than females (33\u00b73% <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 24\u00b79%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0\u00b7001). The rural central highlands had the highest seroprevalence (42\u00b74% of adults). Seroreactivity in the other regions was 29\u00b79% (Hue) and 26\u00b70% and 18\u00b72% in the large urban centres of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, respectively. We conclude that seroprevalence of <jats:italic>S. stercoralis<\/jats:italic> was high in the Vietnamese adult population, especially in rural areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268817002333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,17]],"date-time":"2017-10-17T07:06:35Z","timestamp":1508223995000},"page":"3214-3218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["<i>Strongyloides stercoralis<\/i> seroprevalence in Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"145","author":[{"given":"NGUYEN THI NGOC","family":"DIEP","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"PHAM QUANG","family":"THAI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"NGHIEM NGUYEN MINH","family":"TRANG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JULIA","family":"J\u00c4GER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ANNETTE","family":"FOX","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"PETER","family":"HORBY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"HOANG VU MAI","family":"PHUONG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DANG DUC","family":"ANH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"LE THI QUYNH","family":"MAI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
