ABSTRACT
Among the public health problems in Brazil are the enteroparasitoses, which represent pathologies that weaken the population, being associated with diarrhea and malnutrition, especially in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of enteroparasites in Ponta Grossa - PR individuals attended at the University Laboratory of Clinical Analyses (LUAC) and in children participating in the Extension Project "Enteroparasitoses in Children of the Region of Ponta Grossa - PR". This cross-sectional retrospective study was carried out based on the analysis of the results of the coproparasitological examinations of these individuals, in the period from 2010 to 2016...
Dentre os problemas de saúde pública existentes no Brasil, encontram-se as enteroparasitoses, que representam patologias debilitantes da boa qualidade de vida população, sendo associadas a quadros de diarreia e desnutrição, principalmente em crianças. Objetivou-se avaliar a frequência de enteroparasitos em indivíduos de Ponta Grossa - PR atendidos no Laboratório Universitário de Análises Clínicas (LUAC) e em crianças participantes do Projeto de Extensão "Enteroparasitoses em Crianças da Região de Ponta Grossa PR". Este estudo transversal retrospectivo foi conduzido a partir da análise dos resultados dos exames coproparasitológicos desses indivíduos, no período de 2010 a 2016...

By macroscopic and microscopic dorsal side observation, it was noted that the IX and X segments of two species each of Panstrongylus and Triatoma terminate in an elongated way, whereas they terminate abruptly in the two species of Rhodnius. Scanning observation of the dorsal, ventral, lateral and posterior sides of the female genitalia of Panstrongylus herreri, Panstrongylus megistus, Rhodnius colombiensis, Rhodnius prolixus, Triatoma infestans and Triatoma vitticeps revealed that these six species are generally and specifically distinguished based on these elements. We describe several components that distinguish P. herreri from P. megistus: four on the dorsal side: the VII, VIII, IX and X segments, on the ventral view, three: VII sternite, VIII gonocoxite and VIII gonapophyse, on the lateral view one character, VIII gonocoxite and on the posterior view three characters: VIII and IX gonocoxite and XI gonopophyse. Comparing R. colombiensis and R. prolixus, there were three distinct characters on the dorsal side: the VII, VIII and X segments, on the ventral view three characters: the IX and X segments and VIII gonocoxite and on the posterior view four characters: the VIII, IX, X segments and VIII gonapophyse that distinguish the two species. T. infestans and T. vitticeps have four different characters on the dorsal side: the VII, VIII, IX and X segments, on the ventral view four characters: the VII and X segments, VIII gonocoxite and VIII gonapophyse, on the lateral view two characters, IX and X segments and on the posterior view four characters: the IX and X segments, VIII gonocoxite and VIII gonapophyse that distinguish the two species. Examination of the external female genitalia of six triatomine species by scanning suggests that these components are useful for taxonomical studies.
