Resumen
La infección parasitaria intestinal (enteroparasitosis - endoparasitosis) es una patología frecuente, producida por seres vivos uni o pluricelulares (protozoos y helmintos) que se alimentan y hacen su hábitat natural en el aparato digestivo del hombre, provocando importante morbimortalidad especialmente en los niños. El objetivo es determinar la prevalencia de la parasitosis intestinal en los 59 niños de 5 12 a 12 años de edad, del recinto rural Puerto Rico del cantón Lago Agrio, provincia de Sucumbíos, en el mes de Septiembre del 2016 y su relación con los factores de riesgo a los que se encuentran expuestos. En relación a la metodología, es una investigación de modalidad investigativa, de naturaleza cuantitativa, no experimental, descriptiva, de campo. Se realizó exámenes parasitológicos seriados por 3 ocasiones, con los métodos de Concentración y específico de Graham; y además se utilizó encuestas familiares. Como resultado se observó que de los 59 niños, el 90% de ellos, presentaron algún tipo de parásito en pequeña o gran intensidad. Entre los principales factores de riesgo están los socioculturales y demográfico. Se concluye que de los 59 niños participantes de la investigación, sólo 06 de ellos no presentaron ningún tipo de parásito, evidenciándose la gran incidencia de parasitosis intestinal. Entre los principales factores está el bajo nivel educativo, pues entre padres y madres de familia, 29 de ellos en promedio, sólo poseen instrucción primaria, y 24 de las viviendas se encuentran ubicadas entre los 201 a 1000 m de distancia del relleno sanitario, predisponiendo a una contaminación ambiental especialmente por vectores.

The objective is to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis in the 59 children aged 5 12 to 12 years of age in the Puerto Rico rural area of Lago Agrio, province of Sucumbíos, in September 2016 and their relationship with the factors Of risk to those who are exposed. In relation to the methodology, it is an investigation of research modality, of quantitative nature, nonexperimental, descriptive, field. Serial parasitological examinations were performed 3 times, with Graham's specific and Concentration methods; And also used family surveys. As a result it was observed that of the 59 children, 90% of them presented some type of parasite in small or great intensity. Among the main risk factors are sociocultural and demographic. It is concluded that of the 59 children participating in the research, only 6 of them did not present any type of parasite, evidencing the high incidence of intestinal parasitosis. Among the main factors is the low educational level, since among parents, 29 of them, on average, only have primary education, and 24 of the homes are located between 201 to 1000 m away from the landfill, predisposing To environmental pollution, especially by vectors.
