“…La distribución geográfi ca de la helmintiasis es variable según los niveles de vida de la población, predominando en países tropicales con condiciones de vida y saneamiento defi cientes. La prevalencia en pueblos aborígenes de Malasia fl uctúa entre 4,6 a 86,7% 15 ; en Brasil diversos estudios demuestran prevalencias de 5,8 a 59,5% [16][17] . En Etiopía un estudio reciente demostró 22% de ascaridiasis 18 .…”
