“…The great positivity for Endolimax nana, hookworms and Giardia duodenalis, suggests contamination of the water sources used by this population, as well as environmental contamination of the soil or food ingested by the individuals, evidencing an important contamination of the home microenvironment, poor sanitary conditions and hygienic habits, contributing to the general high prevalence of positivity in this population, as presented in other studies, which is based on the literature on the prevalence of malnutrition in Brazil (2,34,35).…”

“…dispar e E.nana (Tabela 2). A contaminação por esses protozoários está relacionada às condições ambientais, à falta de hábitos de higiene e de saneamento básico, à ingestão de água e alimentos contaminados e à precariedade da educação sanitária (BEZERRA et al, 2003;TASHIMA, SIMÕES, 2004), sendo utilizada como indicador de transmissão oral-fecal (REIS, CARNEIRO, 2007). A presença de G.lamblia, em quase todas as faixas etárias analisadas, sugere a possível presença de animais nos domicílios, interagindo com os moradores, especialmente com as crianças, podendo ser um aditivo na transmissão desta parasitose, uma vez que a giardíase possui um caráter zoonótico (MONIS et al, 2003;THOMPSON, 2004).…”

“…É unânime que os dois protozoários mais prevalentes no estudo (G. lamblia e E. coli), bem como Hymenolepis nana e A. lumbricoides estão relacionados às condições ambientais, falta de hábitos de higiene e de saneamento básico, confinamento em creches e asilos, contaminação do depósito sub-ungueal, ingestão de água e alimentos contaminados, contato com o solo e à precariedade da educação sanitá-ria 1,5, 8,13,15 .…”
