Resumo: | Introduction: Contamination of public areas by infectious forms of zoonotic parasites is a serious public health problem worldwide. A high number of stray animals, seasonality and anthropization of the environment are important elements in the spread of these parasitic infections. Objective: The present study evaluated the influence of seasonality on soil contamination in a public area in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, by two genera of geohelminths (Toxocara spp and Ancylostoma spp). Method: 480 soil samples were collected in a public area, corresponding to 240 samples during the dry season and 240 samples in the rainy season in the city of Fortaleza. They were processed and analyzed individually by the methods of Rugai and Willis. Results: The results reveal a high rate of parasitic contamination in the analyzed soil samples (82.5%). The seasonal comparison of contamination showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the percentage of samples contaminated during the dry season (96.7%) and the samples from the rainy season (68.3%). Microscopic analysis showed a predominance of eggs of Toxocara spp. and Ancylostoma spp. Conclusions: The results show a high degree of parasitic contamination of the soil, influenced by the rainfall indexes of the studied area. |

Um elevado número de animais errantes, a sazonalidade e a antropização do ambiente são elementos importantes na disseminação destas infecções parasitárias. Objetivo: O presente estudo avaliou a influência da sazonalidade na contaminação do solo em uma área pública na cidade de Fortaleza, Ceará, por dois gêneros de geo-helmintos (Toxocara spp. e Ancylostoma spp.). Método: Um total de 480 amostras de solo foi coletado em uma área pública, correspondendo a 240 amostras durante a estação seca e 240 amostras na estação chuvosa na cidade de Fortaleza, as quais foram processadas e analisadas individualmente pelos métodos de Rugai e Willis. Resultados: Um alto índice de contaminação parasitária nas amostras de solo analisadas (82,5%) foi evidenciado. A comparação sazonal da contaminação mostrou uma diferença significativa (p < 0,05) entre a porcentagem de amostras contaminadas no período de estiagem (96,7%) e as amostras do período chuvoso (68,3%). Na análise microscópica, observou-se uma predominância de ovos de Toxocara spp. e Ancylostoma spp. Conclusões: Os resultados demostraram um grau elevado de contaminação parasitária do solo influenciada pelos índices pluviométricos da área estudada.Instituto Nacional de Controle de Qualidade em Saúde2020-02-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed article""Artículo revisado por pares""Artigo avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/133310.22239/2317-269X.01333Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology ; Vol. 8 No. 1 (2020): February; 80-85Vigilancia en Salud en Debate: Sociedad, Ciencia y Tecnología; Vol. 8 Núm. 1 (2020): Febrero; 80-85Vigil Sanit Debate, Rio de Janeiro; v. 8 n. 1 (2020): Fevereiro; 80-852317-269Xreponame:Vigilância Sanitária em Debateinstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporenghttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1333/1131https://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/article/view/1333/1209Copyright (c) 2020 Vigilância Sanitária em Debate: Sociedade, Ciência & Tecnologia (Health Surveillance under Debate: Society, Science & Technology) – Visa em Debatehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMelo, Maria Verônyca CoelhoOliveira, Tatiane RodriguesRodriguez-Málaga, Sérgio MarceloCruz, Deidiane Rodrigues de SousaJonas, Josué Mesquita2023-06-27T15:12:10Zoai:ojs.visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br:article/1333Revistahttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebatePUBhttps://visaemdebate.incqs.fiocruz.br/index.php/visaemdebate/oaiincqs.visaemdebate@fiocruz.br || gisele.neves@fiocruz.br2317-269X2317-269Xopendoar:2023-06-27T15:12:10Vigilância Sanitária em Debate - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false |
