Resumo
The soil is an important route of transmission of etiological agents that cause zoonoses,
among them the parasites. The objective in this research was to analyze soil samples from squares and/
or parks in the city of Aparecida de Goiânia-GO, in order to identify parasites responsible for causing
larva migrans. For this, 30 squares in the city were evaluated and tree samples were collected from each
one. The parasitological analysis was performed using the Willis’s technique. Among the 30 squares
evaluated, 11 (36.7%) were contaminated with parasites that can cause larva migrans. Of the 90 samples,
14 (15%) were positive. The prevalence of eggs of Toxocara sp. was 12.2% and Ancylostomidae of
3.3%. The presence of these parasites in public squares provides information about their contamination
in Aparecida de Goiânia-GO and can contribute to stimulate the implantation of prophylactic measures
that reduce these parasites in recreational areas.
