Specification of a Model for the Study of Transmission of Parasites inthe Covid-19 Era

Abstract

The transmission of parasites is very common in spring and summer not only because of the increase in temperature but also as a sequence of winter confinement in which the holidays encourage interaction between infants. In the Covid-19 era, the problem will exacerbate the situation. The objective of the present work was to specify a model for the study of the problem. A documentary and cross-sectional research was carried out with a selection of sources indexed to international repositories, considering their updating and specialization. The axes, dimensions, trajectories and relationships between the categories and variables that explain and anticipate the phenomenon were established, although it is suggested to extend the discussion towards self-care as an intervention strategy rather than health promotion or risk prevention.
