Enteroparasitosis en comunidades de la Etnia Yukpa del Estado Zulla
Abstract
El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar la prevalencia de las parasitosis intestinales en dos comunidades indígenas de la Sierra de Perijá, Estado Zulia: los pobladores de Santa Ana de Wasama y los de Kasmera. Se les dio instrucción para la adecuada recolección de la muestra fecal, obteniéndose un espécimen por individuo, procesándose un total, entre las dos comunidades de 70 muestras de heces, mediante los métodos coproparasitológicos del examen directo, coloración temporal con lugol y por concentración (formo-letil acetato). Se encontró una alta prevalencia de enteroparasitosis en ambas comunidades; las especies de enteroparásitos más frecuentes en Santa Ana de Wasama y Kasmera fueron: Ascaris lumbricoides (36.6% y 62.1 %), Trichuris trichiura (31.7% y 44.8%) YEntamoeba histolytica (26.8% y 37.9% respectivamente). Se evidenció un alto poliparasitismo en ambas comunidades.
