Durante os anos de 1999 a 2001 foram realizados exames parasitológicos de fezes em 202 estudantes de quintas séries do Colégio Estadual de Terra Boa, em Campina Grande do Sul, região metropolitana de Curitiba, Paraná (sul do Brasil). Estudou-se a prevalência das enteroparasitoses, bem como a relação das mesmas com os hábitos de higiene das crianças. Constatou-se que 55,4 % dos alunos encontravam-se infectados com pelo menos um parasita e os parasitas mais freqüentes foram:Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura e Entamoeba coli, com 31,2 %, 22,3 % e 15,8 % de prevalência, respectivamente. As crianças infectadas foram encaminhadas para tratamento médico e foi realizado, paralelamente, um trabalho educativo sobre noções de higiene e profilaxia das parasitoses envolvendo alunos, professores e a comunidade local.
