Resumo:	Geospatial analysis was used to study the epidemiology ofSchistosoma mansoni, intestinal parasites and co-infections in an area (Ilha das Flores) in Sergipe, Brazil. We collected individually georefer-enced sociodemographic, behavioral and parasitological data from 500 subjects, analyzed them by conventional statistics, and produced riskmaps by Kernel estimation. The prevalence rates found were: S. man-soni(24.0%), Trichuris trichiura(54.8%), Ascaris lumbricoides (49.2%), Hookworm (17.6%) and Entamoeba histolytica (7.0%). Only 59/500 (11.8%) individuals did not present any of these infections, whereas 279/500 (55.8%) were simultaneously infected by three ormore parasites. We observed associations between S. mansoni infection and various variables such as male gender, being rice farmer orfisherman, low educational level, low income, water contact and drink-ing untreated water. The Kernel estimator indicated that high-riskareas coincide with the poorest regions of the villages as well as withthe part of the villages without an adequate sewage system. We alsonoted associations between both A. lumbricoidesand hookworm infec-tions with low education and low income. A. lumbricoides infection and T. trichiura infection were both associated with drinking untreated water and residential open-air sewage. These findings call for anintegrated approach to effectively control multiple parasitic infections
