A total of 334 children were randomly selected for stool sample collection and a questionnaire was administered.

We also found that 196 (58.7%) of the children did not wear footwear, and that a majority of the members of the household (308; 92.2%) practiced open defecation. The regression analysis revealed that children aged &amp;lt;5 y (p=0.002), households in the Kahda IDP camp (p=0.019) and families with &amp;gt;5 members in their households (p=0.034) all have a significantly higher risk of becoming infected with Giardia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study found that giardiasis persists in the IDP camps.
