Abstract

During 12 months the occurrence of enteroparasitosis in children 0 to 12 years was assessed in two riverine communities of Central Amazon: Caiambé and Jutica. Through questionnaires applied to coastal and collections parasitologic in 2008, it was possible to monitor the occurrence of parasites in both locations of study as the level of the river Solimões. The laboratory tests were performed at the hospital in Tefé - AM and the results showed that Ascaris lumbricoides was predominant in Caiambé as Enterobius vermicularis was more prevalent in Jutica during the study period. There was no statistical difference between ascariasis and giardiasis in the study site (P> 0.05).
