Abstract

Children are the risk group for tqxocariasis because they often play in public parks which are easily contaminated and also because pica is common among children. In the Current study, soil samples from 111 parks in Aydin, a city in western Turkey, were assessed. Out of 111, 21 (18.91%) were contaminated with Toxocara spp eggs. Our public parks showed a high toxocariasis risk in our city and the need for preventive studies.

Özet

Çocukların Toxocara spp. yumurtaları ile kontamine olan parklarda oynamaları ve pikanın bu yaş grubunda sık görülmesi nedeniyle toxocariasis riskinin çocuklarda yüksek olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada Aydın il merkezindeki 111 parktan alınan toprak örneklerinin incelenmiş ve bu örneklerin 21 (%18,91)'inde Toxocara spp yumurtası saptanmıştır. İlimiz parklarının Toxocara spp yumurtaları ile kontamine olduğu saptanmış olup, insanlara bulaşmayı önleyici tedbirlerin alınmasının gerekli olduğu düşünülmüştür.
