Intestinal parasitism represents a public health problem that should be periodically assessed in each region. In the present paper, a study about prevalence of intestinal parasites, has been carried out in children from the natural region of the Guadalquivir Valley.
During the period 1994-1996, 1,917 children without symptoms, aging between 6 and 10, were studied by means of coprological analysis and Graham method, all of them living in 20 villages in the Guadalquivir valley.
The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitism have been of 27.12%. The reported parasites and their prevalence are as follows: Enterobius vermicularis (20.44%), Giardia lamblia (5.05%), Entamoeba coli (2.45%), Endolimax nana (1.61%), Entamoeba histolytica (0.31%), Entamoeba hartmanni (0.05%), Iodamoeba bütschlii (0.05%).
The overall prevalence of intestinal parasites is similar to that found in other spanish region, if only a little bit more favourable probably due to the long lasting drought and the improvements in health resources, no geohelminths have been detected unlike other protozoan infections, giardiasis maintains a relatively high prevalence.
肠道寄生虫感染是一个公共卫生问题，每个地区都应定期进行评估。在本文中，对瓜达尔基维尔河谷自然区域的儿童进行了一项关于肠道寄生虫感染率的研究。
在1994年至1996年期间，对1917名6至10岁无症状儿童进行了粪便学分析和格雷厄姆方法研究，他们均居住在瓜达尔基维尔河谷的20个村庄。
肠道寄生虫感染的总体患病率为27.12%。报告的寄生虫及其患病率如下：蛲虫（20.44%）、蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫（5.05%）、结肠内阿米巴（2.45%）、微小内蜒阿米巴（1.61%）、溶组织内阿米巴（0.31%）、哈氏内阿米巴（0.05%）、布氏嗜碘阿米巴（0.05%）。
肠道寄生虫的总体患病率与西班牙其他地区相似，可能仅略好一点，这可能是由于长期干旱和卫生资源的改善。与其他原生动物感染不同，未检测到土源性蠕虫，贾第虫病的患病率仍然相对较高。
