Parasitismo intestinal en poblaciones con alto grado de vulnerabilidad del Caribe colombiano / Intestinal parasitism in populations with a high degree of vulnerability in the Colombian Caribbean
estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, en el que se analizaron 367 muestras fecales de los habitantes de dos asentamientos humanos en estado de vulnerabilidad del departamento del Atlántico-Colombia, durante los años 2015 y 2016. Se realizó examen directo de las heces en solución salina, lugol y concentración con el método formol-éter. Se estableció la frecuencia absoluta y relativa de los parásitos presentes y se compararon los resultados entre los dos lugares de muestreo.
