Three serial samples of feces and 10 soil samples were processed. Risk factors were determined through an interview. Physicochemical and structural characteristics of soils were also evaluated.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;\/strong&gt; Parasites were found in 30.5 % of children. 162 parasites were observed; the most frequent protozoan was &lt;em&gt;Endolimax nana&lt;\/em&gt; (30.3 %) and in terms of helminthes, the most frequent was &lt;em&gt;Ascaris lumbricoides &lt;\/em&gt;(4.9 %). No statistical association between age or sex and intestinal parasites (p&amp;gt;0.05) or between risk factors and intestinal parasites (p&amp;gt;0.05) was found. Low frequencies of intestinal parasites were encountered in soil samples, being more common &lt;em&gt;Entamoeba spp&lt;\/em&gt;., &lt;em&gt;Giardia spp&lt;\/em&gt;., and &lt;em&gt;Ascaris lumbricoides&lt;\/em&gt;. Neighborhoods of Turbaco had sandy dry soil with low content of ions, low conductivity and low organic matter.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;\/strong&gt; This study showed a low frequency of intestinal parasites in feces and soils. Despite this, pathogenic parasites were found which can affect the health of the population. Besides this, a high percentage of intestinal parasites that are transmitted through feces were detected indicating fecal contamination and low level of hygiene.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15446\/rsap.v18n1.42471","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,28]],"date-time":"2016-04-28T18:46:40Z","timestamp":1461869200000},"page":"117-128","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Intestinal parasites in children and soil from Turbaco, Bol\u00edvar and associated risk factors"],"prefix":"10.15446","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Lucy","family":"Villafa\u00f1e Ferrer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mavianis","family":"Pinilla P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"6146","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,28]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.24039\/rnh2010421098","article-title":"Par\u00e1sitos intestinales en pobladores de dos localidades de Yurimaguas, alto Amazonas, Loreto, Per\u00fa.","volume":"4","author":"Pascual","year":"2010","unstructured":"1.
