title: [Intestinal parasites in the riverside population of Villarrica Lake, Chile].
abstract: The prevalence of intestinal parasites in 200 persons of bank side Lake was studied. Age, sex and environmental sanitary conditions were considered in each case. A modified Telemann method was performed for examining stool samples from each individual. Infection by pathogenic or commensal helminths and protozoa was detected in 55.6% of samples. Correlation with sex and environmental sanitary conditions was observed. Infection by Diphyllobothrium sp. was not found.
