This study aimed to characterize the infection by intestinal parasites (IPs) in dwellings from a peri-urban neighborhood in Pampa del Indio, Chaco (Argentina), and its association with socioeconomic and environmental variables. Single stool samples were collected from all individuals older than 1 year through household visits and processed using coprological sedimentation and flotation techniques. Standardized questionnaires were used at the household level to collect socio-economic information. Environmental variables were obtained from the Planetscope image, Landsat 8 images and remote sensors, while land-use layers were obtained through the use of a maximum likelihood algorithm. Stool samples were provided by 314 individuals. The prevalence of IPs found was 30.6% (n = 96), with a predominance of<jats:italic>Giardia lamblia<\/jats:italic>(12.7%, n = 40) and<jats:italic>Hymenolepis nana<\/jats:italic>(7.6%, n = 24). The only soil-transmitted helminth found was<jats:italic>Strongyloides stercoralis<\/jats:italic>with a 2.5% prevalence (n = 8). Individuals of adult age (&gt; 18 years) were 0.65 times less likely to present parasitic infections with respect to children and adolescents. The only environmental variable that was closely associated with the presence of IPs, was the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), a measure of humidity; being higher around houses with positive individuals. Most of the IPs found in this study were of water-borne transmission and those transmitted directly from person-to-person, therefore fecal contamination is present. We believe that the low prevalence of STH in this area, which requires a passage through the soil, is related to the environmental characteristics, which are unsuitable for the development\/permanence of the infective stages of these parasites. The geospatial data and tools used herein proved to be useful for the study of the relationship between the different factors that influence the presence of IPs in a community, from an eco-health approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0285371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,29]],"date-time":"2023-06-29T18:04:16Z","timestamp":1688061856000},"page":"e0285371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Intestinal parasitic infections in a community from Pampa del Indio, Chaco (Argentina) and their association with socioeconomic and environmental factors"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1717-3923","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carlos Matias","family":"Scavuzzo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cintia","family":"Delgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcia","family":"Goy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Favio","family":"Crudo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ximena","family":"Porcasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1470-5146","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mar\u00eda Victoria","family":"Periago","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9431","key":"pone.0285371.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"380","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(04)16728-7","article-title":"\u201cNeglected\u201d diseases but unrecognised successes challenges and opportunities for infectious disease control","volume":"364","author":"DH Molyneux","year":"2004","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"issue":"11","key":"pone.0285371.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e336","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.0020336","article-title":"\u201cRapid-impact interventions\u201d: how a policy of integrated control for Africa\u2019s neglected tropical diseases could benefit the poor","volume":"2","author":"DH Molyneux","year":"2005","journal-title":"PLoS Medicine"},{"key":"pone.0285371.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1007\/0-387-33026-7_3","article-title":"The neglected tropical diseases: the ancient afflictions of stigma and poverty and the prospects for their control and elimination","volume":"582","author":"P Hotez","year":"2006","journal-title":"Advances in Expperimental Medicine and Biology"},{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0285371.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e102","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.0030102","article-title":"Incorporating a rapid-impact package for neglected tropical diseases with programs for HIV\/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria","volume":"3","author":"PJ Hotez","year":"2006","journal-title":"PLoS Medicine"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0285371.ref005","first-page":"387","article-title":"Human intestinal parasites","volume":"25","author":"R.
