Abstract:

In order to determine the prevalence of theEntamoeba complex, and other intestinal parasites in adults in several municipalities of Zulia state a study, was performed with coproparasitological techniques: SSF 0.85% lugol and concentration method. 197 people over 20 years, of both sexes, from 11 municipalities in Zulia. 77.16% of parasitized against 22.84% unparasitized were found; only 186 underwent Kinyoun stains. The higher frequencies correspond to Blastocystis spp.(50.3%), Endolimax nana (36%) and Entamoeba complex (27, 9%) in terms of protozoa; and between the helminths Ascaris lumbricoides (16, 8%), Trichuris trichiura (7, 6%) and Ancylostomideos (6, 1%). The most common associations were complex/Blastocystis spp.(17, 77%) and complex/E. nana (17.26%). There was a significant difference between complex/G. lamblia and complex/Ch. mesnili. We conclude that the prevalence of intestinal parasites in the state remains high, protozoa parasites having the highest rate.
