Abstract
Available information conceming the enteroparasitosis frequency and distribution in areas of São Paulo State, Brazil, are presented and discussed, stressing the importance that such parasitosis assume presently in this State, especially, if compared with other already controlled parasitosis as malaria and Chaga's disease. In the last decades it has been verified a pronounced decrease of enteroparasitoses occurence, however, its frequency in some parts of the State is still high, especially in children belonging to the poorest segment of population living ín precarious habitational conditions. Such situation justifies the establisment of its control programme, suggesting the study of some measures such as the specific mass treatrnent to verify its efficacy in our epidemiological structure.
