The socio\u2010environmental characteristics and hygiene practices of the children were also evaluated in terms of risk factors for parasitic infection of periurban neighbourhoods of La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Serial coproparasitological samples of 78 dogs and 211 children were analysed by means of concentration and flotation techniques. Socio\u2010environmental variables and hygiene practices of children were evaluated through semi\u2010structured questionnaires which were answered by every family. The study showed that 82.1% of dogs were parasitized. The specific richness was of 11 species; <jats:italic>Ancylostoma caninum<\/jats:italic> (69.2%), <jats:italic>Uncinaria stenocephala<\/jats:italic> (41.0%), <jats:italic>Trichuris vulpis<\/jats:italic> (28.2%) and <jats:italic>Toxocara canis<\/jats:italic> (21.8%) were the most prevalent. The study also revealed that 67.8% of children were positive. Also, 11 species were identified and the most prevalent were <jats:italic>Blastocystis<\/jats:italic> sp. (36.0%), <jats:italic>Enterobius vermicularis<\/jats:italic> (27.5%) and <jats:italic>Giardia lamblia<\/jats:italic> (21.3%).

In addition, the risk of infection for <jats:italic>E.\u00a0coli<\/jats:italic> was higher in children who lived in floodable houses (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">OR<\/jats:styled-content>\u00a0=\u00a04.4, 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">IC<\/jats:styled-content>: 0.9\u201316.6).
