It is estimated that Schistosoma mansoni is present in 19 Brazilian states and one of the factors responsible for the spread of schistosomiasis is the migration of individuals from endemic areas, particularly from northeastern Brazil. In the municipality of Conceição da Barra, northern state of Espírito Santo, the present study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of schistosomiasis among sugarcane cutting workers in the alcohol industry, who migrated from the northeastern region of the country. For the diagnosis of intestinal parasites, spontaneous sedimentation and Kato-Katz techniques were used. Of the 287 individuals analyzed, 45 (15.7%), from the states of Alagoas, Pernambuco and Bahia, were positive for S. mansoni. Of the total positive individuals, 38 (84.4%) were from the state of Alagoas, 6 (13.3%) from Pernambuco and 1 (2.2%) from Bahia. The results indicate the possibility of schistosomiasis expansion in the northern state of Espírito Santo.
