An epidemiological survey was made on human intestinal protozoa in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang) to evaluate recent control achievements and provide basis for making specific control strategies. Regions in Xinjiang were categorized by types of ecological system and geographical characteristics into five ecological areas(types I-V) according to the National Ecological Function Stratification issued by the Ministry of Environment Protection and Chinese Academy of Science and Technology. Stratification sampling was made in each ecological area. Feces from human of all ages were collected for morphological identification of protozoan species using the Iodine Liquid Direct Smear Method. In the five ecological areas, 26 886 people from 132 survey sites in 39 counties (cities) were examined, with an examination rate of 81.47% (26 886/33 000). The infection rate was 0.32%(85/26 886). Four species of intestinal protozoa were detected, i.e., Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, Blastocystis hominis, and Entamoeba coli, with an infection rate of 0.22% (60/26 886), 0.03% (9/26 886), 0.01% (2/26 886) and 0.61% (17/26 886), respectively. Of the five areas, the type IV area had the highest infection rate of 0.75%(28/3 758)(P<0.05). Besides, the infection rate was higher in males (0.24%, 33/13 623) than that in females (0.39%, 52/13 263) (P<0.05), higher in age ranges of 21-30(1.40%, 16/3 959) and 31-40 years(0.46%, 22/4 799) than other age groups (P>0.05), higher in housewives (0.48%, 2/418) than those with other occupations, higher in the Hui group (0.61%, 15/2 445) than that in other ethnic groups, as well as highest in populations with a primary education level (0.37%, 35/9 375) and lowest in those with a college level or above(0.20%, 8/3 945). The human intestinal protozoa infection was at a low level in Xinjiang in 2015.
