The intestinal parasitosis are the most frequent diseases that infect the men, maily in undeveloped or on development countries, where, in general, the sanitation system do not exist or is under very bad condition. This study aims to determine the prevalence and identify the risk factors of each enteroparasitosis, on the population of the community of Jutuba Island, Belém city, Pará state. We had tested 109 stool samples using the following methods: direct and spontaneous sedimentation. He total prevalence found was 77,89% (85/109). Among the protozoas, the Entamoeba histolytica (49,41%) and among the helmints the ancilostomides (40%), Ascaris lumbricoides (29,41) and Trichiuris trichiura (24,71%) were the most frequent parasites. There was no statistical sigfnificance between parasitism and sex. The correlation between the parasitism by Giardia lamblia and age was significant (p < 0,05) for the children groups. The risk factors more important for the parasitic diseases for the population of Jutuba Island were the low lever of the economical situation, the lack of sanitation system, the intake of river water without any previous treatment and the intake of açaí juice in natura. The correlation between untreated water and intestinal parasitosis was no statistical significant. The odd rates index had showed that the açaí intake raises the chance of parasitism among the Jutuba Island population it is very important the action of the healthy authorities in order to provide to them the sanitary education since this is an important factor to help to control the parasitism reducing the prevalence of each parasite.
