The objective of the research was to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of enteroparasitosis in the Pulinguí community, San Andrés parish, Guano canton, Chimborazo province 2022, applying parasitological diagnostic techniques aimed at reducing parasitic infections. Where the type of research applied in the methodology was correlational with a field / non-experimental design of prospective chronology with a quantitative approach, the population of the community consists of 903 inhabitants, of which the sample obtained was 117. Parasitic prevalence that stand out the most are Blastocystis sp. (96.6%), Endolimax nana (72.6%), Entamoeba coli (65%) in protozoa, as for helminths, the only one detected was Hymenolepis nana with a prevalence of 6.8%. The distribution of parasite prevalence by age group maintained the same pattern for Blastocystis sp., Endolimax nana and Entamoeba coli parasites in all groups. On the other hand, the parasite prevalence distributed according to sex, higher percentage values were found in females than in males, but none reached statistical significance. In the socio-demographic results, the remarkable thing was the consumption of non-boiled water detecting Entamoeba coli (38.46%) and the consumption of non-bottled water Entamoeba hartmanni (29.91%), another important result is the raising of guinea pigs with Giardia duodenalis (14.53%) and Endolimax nana (61.54%). Furthermore, the prevalence of Entamoeba coli, E. histolytica/E. dispar and Iodamoeba butschlii, in relation to poor handwashing before eating, after defecation, washing fruits and vegetables. It was possible to conclude that the risk factors detected in the community of Pulinguí, such as hand washing, fruit washing, raising guinea pigs and the consumption of non-potable water, prove that intestinal parasites are an important health problem in this agricultural area.
