The objective of this research was to evaluate through a comparative study of enteroparasitosis present in the populations of Tuhualag and Santa Rosa, San Andres parish, Guano, Chimborazo, by means of parasitological analysis and application of statistical tests to identify the prevalence of parasitic species. For this purpose, a transversal field research was carried out, with a nonprobabilistic intentional sampling, in which a total of thirty-eight samples were included in the community of Tugualag and eighteen in the community of Santa Rosa. For the identification of parasites, parasitological techniques such as direct examination, Ritchie's concentration technique (modified), Kato-Katz and Ziehl Neelsen staining (modified) were applied. The results showed a general predominance of Blastocystis sp as the most frequent intestinal parasitosis in the community of Santa Rosa (94.44%) and in the community of Tuhualag (84.85%), followed by protozoa such as Endolimax nana, Entamoeba complex (Entamoeba coli and Entamoeba hartmanni), Iodamoeba butschlii, Chilomastix mesnili, Chilomastix mesnili and Chilomastix mesnili, Chilomastix mesnili, Giardia duodenalis and Entamoeba histolytica/E dispar present in both communities and whose main factors of transmission are poor hygiene, consumption of contaminated food, consumption of tap water, contact with animals and rural development in which the community is located. Keywords: Intestinal parasites, Prevalence, Risk factors. |
