“…Likewise, the finding of Toxocara canis and Ancylostoma caninun may produce syndrome of visceral, ocular, neurological, or cutaneous larva migrans in children, as reported by some studies in La Plata (Venturini and Radman, 1988;Minvielle et al, 2003;Córdoba et al, 2002). Furthermore, cestode (tape-worm) eggs from the Taeniidae family could be from Echinococcus spp.…”

We also analyzed samples of soil, water, and canine feces and surveyed other domestic and environmental data using structured questionnaires to each child's parents. To associate the parasitological, anthropometric and socio-environmental data, a categorical analysis of principal components (catPCA) was conducted. In the first axis of catPCA, the correlations among socio-environmental variables showed a gradient of "relative welfare". The eigenvectors showed the most influential variables in the analysis were promiscuity (0.0765), father's education (−0.741), crowding (0.727), wastewater disposal (−0.658), mother's education (−0.574), and flooding (−0.409). The 85% of children were parasitized and 79.6% polyparasitized. The 27.7% of children had deficit in some nutritional status indicator, being the stunting the most prevalent deficit (16.8%). There also found parasites in 42% of the dog feces, 53% of the soil samples, and non-pathogenic amoebae in the water samples. The SEV was mainly associated with geohelminths and stunting, especially among the poorest children. The study evidences that living conditions are variable within this population. Part of these variations could be linked to the differences in the extent to which parents are able to use their scant resources to influence their children's morbidity. Further studies need to be done from a qualitative approach.

“…52 In recent years, there has been a fairly large amount of research regarding the presence of enteroparasites in domestic dog populations worldwide. 5,7,22,43 Comparatively, fewer studies exist in Argentina 3,12,38,47,56 ; however, only a minority addressed the spatial distribution of infection. 26,46 Several studies reported elevated prevalence of intestinal parasites, mostly among children dwelling in the peripheral and poorest areas of Bahía Blanca, 13,15,17 in vegetables grown in the area (Visciarelli pers.…”

The objectives of this research were: (1) to determine the occurrence of zoonotic enteroparasites in dog feces from Bahía Blanca, Argentina; (2) to characterize the spatial distribution of the parasites found in association with the quality of life index (QLI) in neighborhoods of Bahía Blanca; and (3) to determine if the presence of a particular parasite genus in a stool sample was facilitated or impeded by the presence of other parasite genera. Samples of dog stools (n=475) were collected between December 2012 and December 2013 in areas with varying QLI. The association between QLI values and the presence of parasites was analyzed using logistic regression. Overall enteroparasite occurrence was 36.6%. Parasitic forms found included nematode larvae, cysts of Blastocystis spp., Giardia spp., and oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp., and eggs of Ancylostoma caninum, Toxocara canis, cestodes and Trichuris spp. For certain enteroparasites, we detected significant associations between their occurrence and QLI. Feces collected in areas with medium and low QLI were 2.46 and 5.43 times more likely, respectively, to contain A. caninum than stools from the high-QLI area. Samples from areas with low QLI were 2.36 times more likely to contain Trichuris spp. than those from the high QLI area. Regarding protozoa, feces from areas with low QLI were 2.4 times more likely to be positive than those from areas with high QLI. We demonstrated that canine zoonotic parasites have a wide distribution in the study area, and that occurrence is higher in neighborhoods with lower QLI.

“…La contaminación parasitaria del suelo es considerada como un indicador directo de riesgo de infección para los residentes de una región (Córdoba et al, 2002). Se ha estimado que un gramo de materia fecal de un perro cachorro puede contener hasta 15 mil huevos de Toxocara, los cuales, al ser evacuados en la vía pública, son diseminados por el pisoteo, lluvia, viento y vectores.…”

El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la asociación entre la contaminación con Toxocara sp y la clasificación sanitaria de parques de la Dirección de Higiene Alimentaria y Zoonosis, Ministerio de Salud (Perú), en la ciudad de Abancay, Perú. La investigación fue de tipo analítico, nivel básico y corte transversal. La toma de muestras (n=276) se realizó en los 21 parques de la ciudad mediante un muestreo aleatorio sistemático a través de la metodología de la doble «W». La clasificación de los parques se realizó utilizando la ficha de evaluación del Programa de Vigilancia Sanitaria de Parques, valorando la infraestructura adecuada, ambiente y riesgo sanitario. El 66.7% de los parques se encontraron contaminados con Toxocara sp, y la frecuencia de contaminación con el parásito en las muestras fue de 26.8% (IC95% = 21.4-32.2). Ningún parque calificó como amigable, 38.1% fueron poco amigables y 61.9% fueron considerados como no amigables. La ficha de evaluación del Programa de Vigilancia Sanitaria de parques no es aplicable para estimar la contaminación con Toxocara sp.Palabras clave: contaminación, Toxocara, vigilancia sanitaria, parques ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to determine the association between contamination with Toxocara sp and the sanitary classification of parks of the Department of Food Hygiene and Zoonosis, Ministry of Health (Peru), in the city of Abancay, Peru.
