“…Studies of frequency of parasites in the soil found in different Brazilian regions and in the world have shown environmental contamination of public places, mainly in regions where there is poor sanitation (Maikai et al, 2008;Santarém et al, 2009;Mello et al, 2011;Lima et al 2017). This study shows that the contamination index of public squares on the shore of Laranjal beaches was 8.3% whereas a previous study carried out on the same site found 9.5% positivity in the soil (Villela et al, 2009).…”

This study aimed at examining the prevalence of eggs and larvae of parasites – that may cause diseases to humans and other animals – in the soil of public squares located on the shore of Laranjal beaches, in the Laguna dos Patos, in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Four fieldwork trips – one per season – were taken to collect samples on six squares built on the shore of these beaches. Five samples of soil were collected on every square on every fieldwork trip. The material was processed by Caldwell & Caldwell’s technique. Four squares (66.7%) were positive for helminth eggs and sample positivity was 8.3% (10). Toxocara spp. and Ancylostoma spp. were the main genera found in these places. Even though prevalence was lower than the one observed by other studies which were carried out in the area, helminths with zoonotic potential were found in the soil of the squares. It should be highlighted that measures to control dogs in these areas must be implemented and public policies must be put forth to make pets’ owners and beach goers aware of the need to mitigate environmental contamination.

Human health is threatened by diseases transmitted between animals and humans, denominated zoonoses. Public parks and squares are environments used by the population and easily accessed by domestic and stray animals. The contact of dogs and cats with the soil from those places may favor the transmission of zoonoses to humans. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of parasites in the soil of public squares in the city of Veranópolis in Rio Grande do Sul State. Forty sand samples were collected in four squares throughout the months of December 2021, January, February and March 2022. The samples were processed by the Hoffman, Pons and Janer (HPJ) and Rugai methods. The results showed that 32.5% (13/40) of samples were positive for the presence of parasitic structures. Nematode larvae, including hookworm, were the most prevalent parasitic structures in the samples. In addition, Capillaria sp. eggs, Strongyloides sp. larvae, free-living larvae and Entamoeba coli cysts were also found. Two collections conducted after rainy days had a higher rate of contamination. The presence of parasites was observed in both superficial and deep samples. Therefore, the presence of parasites in the sand of Veranópolis’ public squares demonstrates that there is a risk of parasitic infection for the local population. KEY WORDS: Animals; parasites; soil; squares; zoonoses.

“…Outros estudos brasileiros apresentaram frequências de contaminação do solo menores, como observados em Uberlândia -MG, onde 23,07% das 39 praças analisadas, estavam contaminadas (Costa-Cruz et al, 1994), em Campo Grande (MS), onde obteve-se 85,1% de positividade em ambientes públicos (Araújo et al, 1999), em Guarulhos -SP, onde das praças de 47 distritos, 74,5% apresentaram ovos e larvas de parasitas (Marques et al, 2012) e 66,6 % de positividades em seis praças analisadas do município de Valença -RJ (Cirne et al, 2017).…”

“…A maior frequência de Ancylostoma spp. na sua forma de larva e ovos encontrados nessa pesquisa foi semelhante aos Dipylidium caninum, também não apresentou tanta representatividade quando comparados aos demais helmintos intestinais de cães e gatos, fato também observado por outros autores (Cirne et al, 2017;Batista et al, 2019;Ferraz et al, 2019).…”

Animais podem frequentar locais públicos como praias, praças e parques públicos, resultando em problemas de saúde pública. O solo contaminado por ovos e larvas de helmintos serve como via de transmissão e é um importante indicador de ocorrência de larva migrans cutânea (LMC) e larva migrans visceral (LMV). O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a contaminação por parasitas de potencial zoonótico nas areias de praças públicas da cidade de João Pessoa, Paraíba. Para tanto, foram coletadas amostras de areia e fezes de cães e/ou gatos de 40 praças e, posteriormente analisadas. Das praças avaliadas, 95% (38/40) estavam contaminadas. De acordo com a metodologia aplicada, foram analisadas um total de 456 amostras de areia e fezes e obtido 45,6% (208/456) de positividade. Destas, 45,9% (200/436) eram areia e 47,5% (8/17) fezes contaminadas. Os parasitas encontrados neste estudo foram ovos (62,4%) e larvas (30,9%) de Ancylostoma spp., ovos (0,26%) e larvas (5,5%) de Strongyloides spp. e ovos tanto de Toxocara spp. (0,59%) quanto de Dipylidium caninum (0,19%). O encontro de diversos tipos de parasitas tem uma importância epidemiológica significante, indicando a existência de condições ambientais favoráveis ao desenvolvimento destes microrganismos, principalmente em relação à possibilidade de ocorrência das LMC e LMV. Esses resultados mostram que existe risco à saúde da população que frequenta esses ambientes.
