“…However, one study reported that in the state of Jalisco, adults of San Pedro Itzicán, municipality of Poncitlán (both native and mestizo), showed a 60% prevalence of infection [6] which was lower than the present study. Nevertheless, the incidence of infections for both study populations in Jalisco was high.…”

“…With respect to the helminths, the prevalence of A. lumbricoides infection in this study was 5.8% (6/104), which is less than observations reported in the study of the general population of San Pedro Itzicán, which was 3 times higher (17.5%) than in San Juan Cosala [6]. The low prevalence of helminths found in San Juan Cosala could be, at least in part, the result of the massive deworming campaigns that have been implemented in Mexico [40].…”

“…Egg counts were determined to establish treatment regimens and consequently its effectiveness (at a follow up appointment). San Juan Cosala, as well as San Pedro Itzicán, has a population located on the shores of Lake Chapala where there is a lack of sanitation facilities, thus increasing the risk of infection with intestinal parasites [6]. Information regarding prevalence, clinical manifestations and risk factors are of great importance in determining the necessary healthcare response.…”

Objectives To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with intestinal parasites in the population of San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, Mexico. Methods A total of 277 samples from 104 participants were analysed using direct smear, flotation, formaldehyde/ethyl acetate, and modified Kinyoun’s acid-fast stain methods. The Graham method was applied only for samples from children under 12 years of age for the diagnosis of Enterobius vermicularis. Results The prevalence of parasite infections in the study population was 77.9% including: Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar/E. moshkovskii/E. bangladeshi (37.5%), Giardia intestinalis (11.5%); commensals: Endolimax nana (44.2%), Entamoeba coli (27.9%), Chilomastix mesnili (6.7%) and Iodamoeba bütschlii , (2.9%); emerging intestinal protozoans: Blastocystis spp. (49%), Cryptosporidium spp. (7.7%) and Cyclospora cayetanensis (2.9%); and helminths: Enterobius vermicularis (18.3%) and Ascaris lumbricoides (5.8%). The results also showed that 58.64% of the studied population presented polyparasitism. A significant association was found between protozoan infections and housewives, and houses that were not built with concrete ceilings, brick walls and cement floors ( p < 0.05). Conclusion Polyparasitism was observed in over half the study population. The most prevalent parasite was Blastocystis spp, whilst the prevalence of helminths was less than that of protozoans. The risk factors for infection to intestinal parasites were being a housewife and not having solid brick, cement and concrete materials for house construction.

Blastocystis hominis is an enteric emergen organism found in human it's prevalence has been increasing in the lasts years. The frequency in Mexico is from 4.0% to 62%, without reports in the Guerrero state. The aim of this study was to inform the parasitic transition to B. hominis in the Central Zone of Guerrero state. The population in this study were three communities of Guerrero state: Chilpancingo, Petaquilla and Tixtla in a total of 1,138 preschools and schools children of both sexs. Three parasitological tests were used for detection of the parasite in stool specimens: micrscopy of direct smears, concentration and flotation technique and serum-solution saline culture. Global prevalence of parasites was of 38% and B. hominis was the principal parasite with 61% on the positive tests. The 90% were only B. hominis and 10% with others parasites. A total of 58% of the children healthy with B. hominis declarated have gastrointestinal symptoms. The association of B. hominis with abdominal pain and drinking taste water had significant difference. We propuse a parasitic transition to B. hominis as principal human parasite, this can be the result of man-made intervention in the intestinal parasitosis control.
