This study aimed to evaluate the percentage of positivity of Blastocystis spp. in the population of four municipalities in two biomes in the state of Mato Grosso. Stool collections were performed in the municipalities of Barão de Melgaço, Cáceres, Nova Xavantina and Cuiabá, in the Pantanal and Cerrado biomes. 708 fecal samples were collected, the sample group was divided into two categories, 350 of which came from group I, which comprised a population composed of members aged 5 to 15 years and 358 from group II, composed of members aged 16 years above, of these 17.93% were positive for Blastocystis spp., with 11.15% being samples belonging to the first group and 6.77% referring to the second group. Barão de Melgaço was the municipality with the highest positivity (25.5%), and Cáceres the lowest (7%). The Cerrado biome had a higher percentage of positive samples in the general population (21.10%) compared to the Pantanal (15.5%). There was a significant difference for the percentage of positivity in relation to the age group, with no difference between individuals by sex or biomes. This work enabled greater knowledge about the reality of Mato Grosso regarding infection by Blastocystis spp.
