Parasitoses negligenciadas em livros didáticos do ensino fundamental II do PNLD 2014

The dissemination of information about the neglected parasitosis in textbooks is a relevant strategy in their control, since these are resources widely used in the classroom. Thus, the aim was to analyze the textual and visual resources about parasitosis neglected in science textbooks of the 6th and 7th years proposed by the PNLD 2014. Three books of the 6th and 2 of the 7th year were analyzed with evaluation forms. Neglected parasitosis were mainly contemplated in the 7th year textbooks. Summarized and incorrect approaches were observed in textbooks of both years. The visual features evidenced were, predominantly, schematic in all the books. Therefore, these results demonstrate that the evaluated contents were approached in a limited way in order to be used as theoretical support in science classes
