We studied children 3\u201312 years old from six communities in the highlands of Cuzco to evaluate the epidemiology of fascioliasis; 227 children were included, one-half were female, the mean age was 7.5 (\u00b12.6) years, and 46.2\u00b1% had one or more parasites, including <jats:italic>Fasciola<\/jats:italic> (9.7%), <jats:italic>Ascaris<\/jats:italic> (12.8%), <jats:italic>Hymenolepis<\/jats:italic> (9.3%), <jats:italic>Trichuris<\/jats:italic> (1.3%), hookworm (1.8%), <jats:italic>Strongyloides<\/jats:italic> (0.9%), and <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> (27.8%). <jats:italic>Fasciola<\/jats:italic> was associated with the number of siblings in the household, drinking untreated water, and giardiasis.
