UNASSIGNED: @entity11333 are very common @entity281 worldwide and they are responsible for significant public health problems. The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world population is infected and some epidemiologic factors related to the transmission have been identified. The purpose of this investigation was to study the prevalence of intestinal parasitic @entity281 in @entity1 living in the rural community of "El Canal", Consolaci  n del Sur municipality and the association with some epidemiologic risk factors. All @entity1 were subjected to three methods of parasitological examinations on the stool samples and by immunodiagnostic tests which allow the detection of excretory-secretory antigens of adults with @entity8072 . The global prevalence rate of intestinal parasitic @entity281 (IPIs) was 18%, and 16.7% for @entity12354 , while the rate of @entity281 was lower (5.3%) in the population studied. The univariate analysis identified three factors associated with intestinal pathogenic @entity12354 which include livestock work, drinking water from well\river and eating unwashed fruits\vegetables. The multivariate analysis using introduction test logistic regression ratified the association of these risk factors. Contrary to what have been published in the majority of Cuban studies carried out in rural places, a higher prevalence of @entity12354 was found. This discrepancy may be explained because the majority of the workers in this rural community were stock-breeders and they are not involved in other agricultural work. The identification of risk factors is important in order to design appropriate strategies for control of IPIs in communities.
