Abstract
The effect of colonization on the infestation by intestinal parasites was examined in the subtropical lowlands of Bolivia. High frequency of parasite carriers indicates the close parasite-human relationship in this area. But the variation in the extent of infestation among colonies shows the modification of this relationship by the development of cultivation and/or adjustment for living facilities which were influenced by differential colonizing processes in terms of the time elapsing since initial settlement, the type of colonization and the origin of the colonists.
