Resumo

In order to adequate parasitology teaching to our actual regional reality, and trying to improve our social conditions and health of the community, a parasitological search was performed by teachers and pupils of the Clinicai Parasitology section of the Department of Parasitology of the Institute for Tropical Pathology and Public Health of the Federal University of Goiás. From 1978 to 1985, 1878 faecal examinations were performed employing the methods of Hoffman Pons and Janer, Faust et alii, and Rugai et alii. From them, 69% (1.296 samples) were positive and 31 % (582 samples) were negative. Prevalence observed among species was as follows: Entamoeba coli: 456 (35,18%); Giardia lamblia: 381 (29,39%); Hymenolepis Nana: 370 (28,54%); Ascarís lumbricoides: 338 (26,08%); Ancilostomideos: Til (21,37%); Endolimax nana: 116 (8,95%); Trichocephalus trichiurus: 82 (6,32%); Strongyloides stercoralis: 79 (6,09%); Entamoeba histotytica: 33 (2,54%); lodamoeba butschalii: 29 (2,33%); Enterobius vermicularis: 28 (2,16%); Schistosoma mansoni: 04 (0,30%); Taenia sp: 03 (0,23%). Examined population was mainly children at prescholar and scholar age, as well as some adults, with ages ranging between 3 months and 23 years old. These samples were colected on six nurseries and two primary school groups, in different boroughs of the city of Goiânia. Positive cases for Schistosoma mansoni were from people coming from other States (Minas Gerais and Bahia), but living now in Goiânia
