In the age variable, the highest percentage of positives was in the age group of 2 to 3 years with 73.3%, and in the altitude variable, the range with the highest positivity is 2947-2960 masl with 80.7%. At the end of the study, it was concluded that the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in the "El Chan" neighborhood of Latacunga is 72%, which indicates that it is a high percentage.
