Methods: A study conducted by spontaneous demand of patients in a Basic Health Unit, Northern Zone of Manaus, Amazonas, between April and July 2007, conducting parasitological examination in 400 stool samples by Hoffmann-Pons-Janer’s method, and interviews. Results: From the total, 271/400 (67,8%) contained parasites; 181/268 (45,25%) samples were of females; 147/224 (36,7%) aged between 19 and 85 years; 119/170 (29,75%) with incomplete elementary school; 207/299 (51.75%) with a family income between one and three minimum wages; 220/316 (55%) were natural from Amazonas; 192/284 (48%) worked at home; 199/298 (49,7%) consumed water from artesian public well; 106/152 (26.5%) treated the water; 165/248 (66%) did not treat the consumed water.
