Among the helmintos species, they meet agents producers of the cutaneous migrans and visceral migrans larvae. In this context, the present work had for objective to contribute for the study of the cutaneous migrans larvae, identifying your agents producers and associate the results with the obtained data of the medical registrations of dermatological center in the Mossoró-RN. The study was accomplished in the Mossoró District and beaches of Areia Branca and Tibau District, region west of Rio Grande do Norte State, removing soils samples of the 29 public squares, 07 schools and 04 beaches, to which was processed at the Laboratory of Animal Parasitology - UFERSA, by modified Baermann method. In overall, 200 samples of soil were collected originating from 40 different places, of these, 35% (14) presented growth for Ancylostoma sp, being distributed in 78,6% (11) squares, 14,3% (2) schools and 7,1% (1) beach. The larger occurrence of the helminto was verified in the months that presented higher pluviometric index and in the studied period 92/770 patients positive for worms migrans cutaneous according the medical registrations.
