Resumo: Intestinal parasites are among the most prevalent infections in humans. A cross-sectional survey was performed in a Canutama, Amazonas state, Brazil, in order to estimate the prevalence of intestinal parasites. The detection of parasites in the feces was performed using the Lutz method. Demographic data and the characteristics of the households were collected using a questionnaire. The prevalence of parasites was 36.9%. Ascaris lumbricoides (7.14%) was the most prevalent. The absence of a sewage network, consumption of raw vegetables and raw meat are risk factors for contracting intestinal parasitosis. We reported a prevalence of intestinal parasites and determined some of the risk factors.

Se realizó una encuesta transversal en Canutama, Estado de Amazonas, Brasil, con el fin de estimar la prevalencia de parásitos intestinales. La detección de parásitos en las heces se realizó mediante el método de Lutz. Los datos demográficos y las características de los hogares se recopilaron mediante un cuestionario. La prevalencia de parásitos fue del 36,9%. Ascaris lumbricoides (7,14%) fue el más prevalente. La ausencia de red de alcantarillado, el consumo de verduras crudas y carne cruda son factores de riesgo para contraer parasitosis intestinal. Informamos una prevalencia de parásitos intestinales y determinamos algunos de los factores de riesgo.Parasitas intestinais estão entre as infecções mais prevalentes em humanos. Um estudo transversal foi realizado em Canutama, Estado do Amazonas, Brasil, para estimar a prevalência de parasitoses intestinais.

A prevalência de parasitas foi de 36,9%. Ascaris lumbricoides (7,14%) foi o mais prevalente. A ausência de rede de esgoto, o consumo de vegetais crus e carne crua são fatores de risco para a contração de parasitoses intestinais. Nós relatamos uma prevalência de parasitas intestinais e determinamos alguns dos fatores de risco.Research, Society and Development2021-10-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2144110.33448/rsd-v10i13.21441Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 13; e420101321441Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 13; e420101321441Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 13; e4201013214412525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/21441/19053Copyright (c) 2021 Marcel Gonçalves Maciel; Walter dos Santos Lima; Djane Clarys Baia da Silva; Rodolfo Silva Moreira Cezar; Josue Costa Oliveira; Gessica Cristian Raposo Medeiros; Marciane Gonçalves Maciel; Jorge Augusto de Oliveira Guerra; Maria das Graças Vale Barbosa Guerrahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaciel, Marcel Gonçalves Lima, Walter dos Santos Baia da Silva, Djane Clarys Cezar, Rodolfo Silva Moreira Oliveira, Josue Costa Medeiros, Gessica Cristian Raposo Maciel, Marciane Gonçalves Guerra, Jorge Augusto de Oliveira Guerra, Maria das Graças Vale Barbosa 2021-11-21T18:26:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/21441Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:40:51.360304Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
