Gastrointestinal parasites play crucial roles in mortality and morbidity. They are more prevalent in rural areas than the urban areas. Parasitosis affects all age groups of people but in children, it causes slow mental and physical growth, produces long-term effects, leads to deficiency of vital nutrients, and hampers growth and development. This prospective study aimed to assess the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitosis in stool samples among the people of Uttarakhand. To identify intestinal parasites, 1528 samples were examined for consistency and the presence of any parasitic particles using the visual, direct wet mount, and concentration methods. The SPSS 21 was used to conduct statistical analysis. Differences with a p-value of less than 0.05 were considered significant. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection rate was 32.85%. The prevalence of the parasites was in the following order - Giardia lamblia (29.48%), Entamoeba histolytica (20.91%), Ascaris lumbricoides (18.52%), Hymenolepis nana (7.96%), Trichuris trichiura (7.56%), Taenia sp. (7.17%),Strongyloidesstercoralis (5.97%), Ancylostoma duodenale (2.19%), and Enterobius vermicularis (0.19%).
