The diseases transmitted by contaminated foods, they represent a serious problem of health publishes, many microorganisms are able to survive adverse conditions for their development, therefore the fruits and crude vegetables can be contaminated.

It is tried with this work, to raise the importance of validating and of implementing the methods to detect parasites in fruits and vegetables during the process of the good ones you practice agricultural, since some of these products by their physical characteristics more are exposed to contamination and therefore they are carrying of causal agents of diseases.

The intention was to collect samples of fruits and vegetables from the different points of sale, and to put them for to study taking a method from diagnosis used by other authors for the isolation of parasites in this type of samples. Once they were processed in the laboratory, they were identified for the causal and common agents of the intestinal upheavals. With the results of this study, it was tried to determine the parasites found in fruits and vegetables by means of parasitological analysis, to compare products both: fruits and vegetables as far as the contamination with parasites, to socialize the results with the distributors proposing conditions of prevention.

In addition the points of sale was evaluated, the quality of its services and the cleanings that offer to eliminate the contamination, projecting to benefit to the consumers and drug dealers from agricultural products, in order to diminish the contamination risk.
