Abstract
By means of Kato-Katz technique 113,254 coprological samples of the human population belonging to 100 counties from Venezuela were analyzed. It was determined the following prevalences: Ascaris lumbricoides 26.8%, Trichuris trichiura 32.7% and hookworm 5.6%. It was found a strong correlation between A. lumbricoides and T. trichiura infection (p < 0.001), a significant correlation between T. trichiura and hookworm (p < 0.5) and no correlation between A. lumbricoides and hookworm.
