“…The fact that the population studied presented significant prevalence of enteroparasitosis even when receiving treated water and having appropriate disposal of feces, suggests association of parasitosis not only with sanitary conditions. Such a fact would explain why many programs for the improvement of sanitary conditions through the installation of sewers and water supply by health organizations do not always influence the prevalence of verminosis in those areas 41 .…”

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence and incidence of intestinal parasites in children and staff members of 5 municipal daycare centers in Botucatu/SP. Two cross-sectional studies were carried out in 2002 (N=379) and 2003 (N=397) and a longitudinal observational experiment in which the children from 2002 and 2003 were evaluated for a year. Questionnaires were given to staff members and parents of the children, where the following variables were recorded: socioeconomic status, sanitary habits, home, age, gender and presence of domestic animals. Coproparasitologic tests were carried out in child daycare centers. The enteroparasite prevalence was 76.74% in 2002 and 34% in 2003. The variables associated with presence of enteroparasites in the investigation carried out in 2002 were: location of daycare centers (OR=0.27 CI=0.15-0.47); family salary (OR=4.38 CI=1.91-10.04); gender (OR=0.52 CI=0.32-0.85); child's age group (OR=2.08 CI=1.06-4.08), and presence of pets at home (OR=1.85 CI=1.10-3.11); in 2003, the variables were: daycare centers located in peripheral region (OR=0.49 CI=0.31-0.78), family salary (OR=3.69 CI=2.19-6.24); mother's education (OR=6.19 CI=1.81-21.21); gender (OR=0.58 CI=0.36-0.93), and presence of pets (OR=1.68 CI=1.01-2.79). The cohort had 253 children with an incidence of 23.22%. Data from this study highlighted situations of risk in specific populations (daycare centers), which could be useful for other childcare institutions.

Kuenen & Swellengrebel29, em 1913, evi denciaram que indivíduos portadores de infec ção amebiana assintomática apresentavam na luz intestinal trofozoítos de E. histolytica de tamanho pequeno fagocitando apenas bactérias e detritos, a seguir encistando-se e sendo elim i nados sem provocar danos.Ao lado desta "form a m inuta" da E. histoly tica, Hoare27 relaciona a chamada "form a magna" da E. histolytica, de tamanho maior, invasora dos tecidos, podendo fagocitar hemá-cias e incapaz de encistar-se, representando uma fase de virulência do parasita que ocorre nos casos de amebíase aguda.Uma outra ameba, descrita em 1912 por Prowazek46 com o nome de Entamoeba hart manni, tem morfologia semelhante à "form a m inuta" da E. histolytica, sendo, entretanto, ainda de tamanho menor. Esta E. hartmanni não é patogênica, mas seus pequenos cistos têm sido muitas vezes confundidos com os da E. histolytica.A E. hartm anni é aceita como espécie d is tin ta da E. h is t o ly tic a por Bur-
