Resumen:
The mass movement of people creates opportunities for the spread and establishment of infectious diseases, such as enteroparasitoses. For both geographical and historical reasons, Gran La Plata is receiving an increasing number of immigrants. We aimed to compare the prevalence of intestinal parasites in immigrant populations (IP) from Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru, and non-migrant populations (NMP) resided in periurban of Gran La Plata.

Coproparasitological samples were analyzed by Willis and Ritchie concentration methods, anal swabs and conventional PCR.
