Ecuador is one of the countries where there is a high prevalence of intestinal parasitism, especially in rural areas, mainly associated with poverty, lack of drinking water and hygienicsanitary conditions in which they live, where children and older adults represent a highly vulnerable group. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the association between daily food intake and intestinal parasites present in residents of the community of Cuatro Esquinas, San Andres Parish, Guano, by means of epidemiological surveys, coproparasitic diagnostic techniques and statistical tests to prove their significance. A total of 49 individuals were evaluated, who provided stool samples with prior informed consent and assent, together with the response to epidemiological surveys that reflected the possible foods that act as vehicles for the transmission of intestinal parasites. For coproparasitic diagnosis, the Ritchie concentration, Kato-Katz, fresh and alcohol resistant acid-fast staining techniques were used, where the most frequent parasites were Blastocystis sp. (77.55%), Endolimax nana (67.35%) and Entamoeba coli (36.73%), showing percentage differences that reached statistical significance (X2=170.85 p=<0.0001), with respect to the helminth group Ascaris lumbricoides (4.08%). When associating daily food consumption and intestinal parasitosis, no statistical significance was obtained, concluding that dietary habits are not a determining factor in intestinal parasite contamination. Key words: parasitosis, food, contagion, prevalence, protozoa |
