Objective: To characterize the epidemiological situation of intestinal parasitosis in Falcón state in the period 2014 - 2020. Method: Descriptive observational documentary study. Results: Among the most frequent etiological agents were protozoa, especially Blastocystis hominis (31.31%), Giardia lamblia (19.29%), and Entamoeba histolytica (6.73%); among helminths were Enterobius vermicularis (14.03%), Ascaris lumbricoides (10.97%) and Trichuris trichiura (4.49%). Conclusion: The infant population was the most affected, specifically the preschool and school-age population, especially between 3 and 9 years of age with 77.76%, which is directly related to exposure to risk factors due to low levels of hygiene, as well as immature processes in their immune system.
