Helminths prevalence remains high in spite of deworming program in this community. PCR and microscopy are complementary in producing better results of prevalences. No Entamoeba histolytica was detected in this community. Increased prevalences by PCR for D. fragilis, G. intestinalis and A. lumbricoides. Among hookworms, only Necator americanus was detected in this community.
