Abstract

The frequent finding of soil contamination by dogs feces are remarkable, and such soi1 contamination may be public health problem.
Of 608 samples, 30(4.9%) were positive for nematode ova. Ten paint 3% of sail samples from parks and 7.9% from footpaths were found to contain nematode eggs. Of the helminth eggs´.detected, eggs of Toxocara spp. were the most commonly encountered, and mostly from the soil of footpaths. No eggs were recovered from the soil of school yards; the level of soil contamination was low in public play areas.
Egg recovery rate of the soil to dogs’feces collected from footpaths was approximately 1 : 5. And the larvae demonstrated from the soil in the present study were nematode larvae, mainly recovered from parks.
