The infeccions caused by enteroparasites are very common
among the humans and prevalent in the underdeveloped countries because of
their close linkage to their sanitary and hygiene conditions. This study aims the
investigation about the enteroparasites those cause humans illness, in community
in the State of Rondonia, organized by the "Rural Workers Movement Without
Land" (MST). At that community, called Pe. Ezequiel located in Mirante da Serra
municipality, in RO, the direct and the spontaneous sedimentation in water
methods were used for the detection and identification of the parasitic forms of
protozoas and helmints in excrement materiais, and the ELlSA's test for the
detection of the especific antigen, anti- GIAP (galactose inhibitory adherence's
protein) Entamoeba histolytica ( Techlab, Blacksburg, VA, USA). 313 fecal
samples were tested by the coproscopical methods and 186 by EUSA's test. The
total prevalence was 33,5% and the E. histolytica Giardia lamblia and
ancilostomides were the most frequent pathogenic parasites. There were no
statistical significances between parasitism and age group, but the relation
between E. histolytica and the female group had showed significance. The risk
factor(s) was (were) not determined in relation to the founded infections among the
studied group. The resulta of ELlSA's test detected a higher number of intestinal
amebiasis in comparison to those detected by coproscopical method. Taking into
account that the community is rural area without a ideal struture for living, the
parasitism found was amazing. However, the basic local struture associated to the
group's organization, the communitary conscious and the basic health education
are main factors for the prevention and/or control of the parasites infections.
