To demonstrate the prevalence of Toxocara spp. eggs in public playgrounds in Seoul city, sand samples collected from March to October in 2000 were examined. Of 1,812 sand samples from 302 playgrounds surveyed, Toxocara canis eggs were detected in 38 sands from 22 place(7.3%). Sand samples in public parks were more contaminated (10%) with the eggs than those in apartment complex area(7.1%) and in residential area(6.8%). Toxocara canis eggs were mostly found in sands in the spring and autumn but were not found in summer. To prevent the comtamination of Toxocara spp. eggs in the public places, the control of dogs and cats wandered do out there will be needed.
