Title
SOIL CONTAMINATION WITH TOXOCARA SPP.EGGS IN PUBLIC PLACES OF ARDABIL CITY
English Abstract
Toxocariasis is a parasitic zoonosis with worldwild distribution. It is caused by the ascarids of dogs (Toxocara canis) and cats (Toxocara cati). Human become an incidental host for Toxocara when they ingest the eggs of the parasite, chiefly by hand-to-mouth contact, from exposure to areas polluted with Toxocara eggs, such as contaminated soil in public places. Therefore, soil is noted as the main source of transmission of Toxocara infection to human beings. There are no data about soil contamination by Toxocara spp. eggs from Ardabil city. The aim of current study was to estimate the extent of soil contamination with Toxocara eggs in public places. This survey was conducted from March 2013 to March 2014. A total of 200 samples collected randomly from 41 public places in various parts of Ardabil city and examined by microscopy following sodium nitrate flotation. Toxocara eggs were recovered from 14 soil samples indicating an overall frequency rate of 7 percent. This investigation gives baseline knowledge regarding soil contamination with Toxocara spp. eggs in Ardabil city and will provide information for implementation of control measures in the area.
