Resumen:
Abstract A socio-environmental and parasitological study of children from urban, suburban and rural areas of Buenos Aires and Misiones provinces was carried out. An epidemiological interview was filled in and serial fecal samples were analyzed by sedimentation and flotation techniques. From the total fecal samples (1893), 5.5% in Buenos Aires and 25.6% in Misiones were positive. The peri-urban area of Misiones showed the highest prevalence of total parasitosis (34.1%), and bi- and poli-parasitized (45.4%). The most prevalent species were Strongyloides stercoralis (22.1%) and hookworm (21.6%) in the suburban area and the rural area of Misiones respectively. Hymenolepis nana and Ascaris lumbricoides frequencies remained low in both provinces. Trichuris trichiura was present only in the suburban Buenos Aires area. Soil transmitted helminths prevalence increased with age (p <0.05) and it was associated in the peri-urban area of both provinces and the rural area of Misiones with socio-environmental conditions: poor housing, ground floor, latrines or open air defecation, non-household waste collection, unemployed mother, parents without primary education (p <0.05). Biogeographical features and socioeconomic conditions in the province of Misiones favor the persistence of parasitic forms in the environment. hookworm (21.6%) in the suburban area and the rural area of Misiones respectively.
