“…In this study, we have found that geophagia was significantly associated to positive serology (p < 0.001). Moreover, association of geophagia with toxocariasis were reported in several studies around the world, since human toxocariasis has been described as a soil transmitted zoonosis 2,5,17,22,24 .…”

“…In fact, age > 14 years appeared to be a protective factor and the proportion of subjects with hightiter antibodies was lowest in this age group. The seroprevalence in children in our site is comparable to recent estimates obtained for children aged 1-14 years living in urban areas of this country (8.7-39.0%) [12][13][14][15][16][17] ; in the nearby town of Acrelân-dia, we recently found IgG antibodies to Toxocara in 21.5% of the 483 under-5 children examined. 18 The only recent study of Toxocara seroprevalence across different age groups in Brazil, performed in a large city in the southeastern region, found IgG antibodies in 20.5% of subjects aged 15-80 years, compared with 27.7% in those aged < 15 years.…”

“…9,10 However, few comparable data are currently available for rural areas, where human infections are usually most prevalent. 11 Seropositivity rates between 8.7% and 39.0% have been found in different samples of Brazilian children (sample size, 100-483) examined over the past decade, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] but exposure to Toxocara has been rarely investigated in other age groups and no data are available for rural populations of this country. 19 Here we describe the epidemiology of human toxocariasis in one of the largest agricultural settlements in the Amazon Basin of Brazil, the Pedro Peixoto settlement in the state of Acre.…”

“…In the present study, the mean age of the seropositive children was 5.8 years old (standard deviation of 3.8 years). Most serological surveys have shown a predominance of seropositivity in children aged between two and 15 years old, considered to be the classic age group for susceptibility to toxocariasis 1,3 . BUNDY et al 9 suggested that the prevalence rates of infection may provide some indication of an ageinfection relationship, and that the rates found for the under five years old age group probably constitute a true reflection of infection acquisition rate, since this population is not infected at birth.…”
