This study reports the results of a copro-parasitological investigation undertaken in seven cities located in the South-East of Côte d’Ivoire from 1996 to 2001. The stools of 2551 pupils aged from 4 to 15 years old including 1351 male subjects and 1200 female subjects were subjected to a direct examination, of the Kato and Baermann techniques. Moreover, the research of oxyure eggs was done by the Graham scotch anal test. The study revealed that 41,5 % of the pupils were mono or poly parasited with a statistically significant difference between the two genders. The most affected age group range is the one between 10 to 15. The most affected cities were Grand-bassam (59,70 %), Abidjan (51,42 %), Divo (47,50 %). Trichocephalosis, ascaridiosis and ankylostomosis represented respectively 18,57 %, 11,53 % et 9,94 % of the intestinal helminthosis found. The other worm infestations were rare.
