A wide research on parasitism by hymenolepidids has been performed in children population from five ecological regions of Peru. The study included parasitism assessment in relationship to nutritional status, sex and geographical location, evaluating 500 children (6-7 years old), 100 of each of the following regions: Chala, Yunga, Quechua, Suni y Puna. An epidemiological, descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study was realized between 2005 and 2009. The population sample was chosen for convenience by convocation. As a result, it has been determined that parasitism by Rodentolepis nana nana is not associated with nutritional or sex of the children under study. Rather, it has been observed that parasitism has a high prevalence in each of the ecological levels.
