We live in a technological world and full of constant changes, which is not distinctive when it comes to health. The enteroparasitoses are a serious problem and that has affected the population, mainly the citizens who do not have adequate hygienic-sanitary conditions. The objective of this article is to search for available evidence in the literature on the prevalence of epidemiological aspects of enteroparasitosis in children in Brazil. The study was carried out by means of a bibliographical review, through a survey of scientific articles using the main bases of scientific indexing, such as: Scielo and MedLine. The prevalence of enteroparositosis in Brazil is high, with social problems and partial access to public policies as collaborators in the spread of diseases, among them intestinal parasitoses, of which they occupy the top. Public health policies should be inserted and enjoyed by the unassisted community in these places, since children by virtue of their physiological conditions are more sensitive to such manifestations.

Plants with potential biological activity in the organism have important applicability in the present day as soon as the use is present in the culture of which it was adhered by the ancestors. The mikania, better known as guaco is used for several pathological conditions, both for cases related to the respiratory system and anti-inflammatory functions in various organs. This work aims to review the literature on the pharmacological effects of Mikania and to know the most used species. In studies done, it was verified that Mikania have several pharmacological effects, with antibacterial in dental infections, anti-hemorrhagic in cases of snakebite, anti-nociceptive with opioid-like actions, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic, useful in cases such as dengue. And this is due to its chemical constitution, since it holds a concentration of important active substances, especially coumarins. It is evident that secondary metabolites have biological activities in the body, with desired effects. M. glomerata was the most searched with positive results against tests. More effort is needed in the evaluation of compounds that can be used by society in the form of drugs with minimal side effects.
