| Abstract (English): |
Environmental sanitation is one of the necessary conditions to prevent the spread of diseases, including intestinal parasites. The objective of the study was based on describing the environmental sanitation characteristics of several parishes in the Pajan canton. For the research, a non-experimental, prospective, descriptive and cross-sectional design was used, where a survey was carried out on 351 parents from different parishes of the Pajan canton in the province of Manabí, Ecuador. The results show that 67.24% of individuals consume river or well water, 67.81% do not do any type of treatment prior to consumption. Regarding excreta disposal, 90.03% do so through latrines or septic tanks, and 75.78% dispose of garbage through other means (they throw it away in the patio of the house or burn it) different to the collection truck. It is concluded that in the communities studied they have deficiencies in environmental sanitation, which influence as risk factors for intestinal parasites in individuals from the Pajan canton.

El saneamiento ambiental constituye una de las condiciones necesarias para evitar la propagación de enfermedades, entre las que se incluyen las parasitosis intestinales. El objetivo del estudio se basó en describir las características de saneamiento ambiental de varias parroquias del cantón Paján. Para la investigación se utilizó un diseño observacional, descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal, donde se realizó una encuesta a 351 padres de familia de diferentes parroquias del cantón Paján en la provincia de Manabí, Ecuador. Los resultados evidencian que un 67,24% de los individuos consumen agua de río o pozo, un 67,81% no le hacen ningún tipo de tratamiento previo al consumo. Con respecto a la eliminación de excretas, un 90,03% lo hace a través de letrinas o pozo séptico y la eliminación de basura el 75,78% lo realizan por otras vías (la botan en el patio de la casa o queman). Se concluye que las comunidades estudiadas tienen deficiencia en el saneamiento ambiental, los cuales influyen como factores de riesgo de las parasitosis intestinales en individuos del cantón Paján.
