Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of intestinal parasites with zoonotic potential in fecal samples collected from the main public squares of Mineiros-GO. Theoretical Framework: Companion animals are increasingly present in family life. This closer relationship between humans and animals raises public health concerns, considering that companion animals are primary disseminators of parasites with zoonotic potential. Public squares experience high foot traffic from both people and animals, including both domesticated and stray animals, which deposit feces in these areas, thus facilitating the spread of parasites. Method: A total of 250 fecal samples were collected, stored in sterile collection tubes, properly identified, and securely sealed, and then transported to the laboratory under refrigeration. The techniques used for sample analysis were the Faust and Willis-Mollay methods. Results and Discussion: Of the samples, 74% tested positive for Ancylostoma spp., 26% for Toxocara spp., 5.5% for Trichuris vulpis, 7.5% for Giardia spp., and 4% for Isospora spp. The results are concerning for public health due to the zoonotic potential of the parasites found. Research Implications: The high prevalence of intestinal parasitoses in public areas highlights the need for rigorous sanitary measures to prevent the spread of zoonoses. Originality/Value: The relevance of this research lies in its potential to inform and guide public policies and raise public awareness about the importance of hygiene practices and responsible pet care to prevent parasitic infections.
