From June to December 2017, this study was carried out to find the biological diversity of zoonotic enteroparasites in 55 children and 55 dogs belonging to the sector 21 of Belen. Trough microscopic stool examination by direct method, Willis flotation, Kato-Katz and Harada – Mori culture, the study reported 6 parasites species in children (Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides, Ancylostoma duodenale and/or Necator americanus, Hymenolepis nana, Giardia lambia and Entamoeba coli) and 3 in dogs (Ancylostoma caninum, Toxocara canis and Trichuris sp.). The diversity in children and dogs was low, with the following results in Simpson index (1-D) = 0.157 and Shannon index (H¨) = 0.33 for children and Simpson index (1-D) = 0.181, Shannon index (H¨) = 0.072 for dogs. General prevalence was 80% in children, registering A. lumbricoides (49.1%) and T. trichiura (30.9%) as the most prevalent species, and for dogs was 54.5%, registering A. caninum (45.5%) as the most prevalent. The Independence test of Chi2 did not show significant relation between children or dong’s age and sex with any parasite found. Likewise, maps of distribution showed the difference among zones with higher risk of parasitic infections.
