Summarizing, the samples present in the collectors were homogenized. In the laboratory, the sewage samples were processed using the Bailenger Method, modified by Mara & Cairncross (1989), however, with some adaptations. Thus, the city population is subject to infections, especially by helminths regardless of seasonality. stercoralis, mainly during periods of intense rainfall and close to river areas. The spatial analysis has shown that most hotspots were associated with S. (4.6% 7), hookworms (2.0% 3) and Iodamoeba butschlii (62.5% 5), and in the dry season, it was detected S. In the rainy season, we detected Strongyloides stercoralis (87.6% 134), Strongylus spp. In the laboratory, the water samples were submitted to the Bailenger method with some adaptations and analyzed under an optic microscope. From each street, two wastewater samples were collected in both climatic periods. A total of 50 streets were selected by a sample calculation in the Epi Info™ program. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out between the months of June, July (rainy season) and October (dry season) of 2021. We aimed to investigate the occurrence of parasites in sewage waters in both rainy and dry seasons in the city of Santana do Ipanema, Brazil. Wastewater released into the environment without proper treatment contributes to the high prevalence of parasitic infections.
