Resumo: Toxocara species are most common roundworms of Canidae and Felidae. Human toxocariasis develops by ingesting of embryonated eggs in contaminated soil. There is no previous report of Toxocara contamination in the soil samples from the public areas in Bangkok. For this reason our study have been carried out to examine the frequency of Toxocara eggs in public yards in Bangkok, Thailand. A total of 175 sand and clay samples were collected and examined for parasite eggs. According to this study, Toxocara eggs were detected from 10 (5.71%) of 175 soil samples. The high rate of contamination in this study implies the importance of the control of this possible zoonotic disease: control of abandon of dogs and cats, is still necessary.

Espécies de Toxocara são os ascarídeos mais comuns de canídeos e felídeos. A toxocaríase humana se desenvolve através da ingestão de ovos embrionados presentes no solo. Não existe nenhum relato prévio da contaminação de Toxocara em amostras de solo de áreas públicas em Bangkok. Devido a isso, nosso estudo visou o exame da freqüência de ovos de Toxocara em Parques públicos em Bangkok, Tailândia. Em um total de 175 amostras de areia e barro pesquisou-se a presença de ovos de helmintos. De acôrdo com este estudo, os ovos de Toxocara foram encontrados em 10 (5,71%) das 175 amostras de solo. A elevada taxa de contaminação demonstrada neste estudo implica na importância do controle desta possível doença zoonótica: controle de cães e gatos abandonados é ainda necessário.
