Contaminação Do Solo Por Geohelmintos Em Áreas Públicas De Recreação Em Municípios Do Sul Do Rio Grande Do Sul (Rs), Brasil

Abstract: O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a contaminação ambiental do solo por parasitos em praças públicas de seis municípios da região sul do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram visitadas dez praças, sendo analisadas 10 amostras de solo de cada uma destas localidades, totalizando 100 amostras. A técnica empregada para a pesquisa de parasitos no solo foi a de Caldwell & Caldwell adaptada por Pessoa & Martins. Constatou-se contaminação parasitária em 41% (41) das amostras e todas as praças avaliadas possuíam ao menos uma amo… Show more

“…Soil contamination by zoonotic parasites has been reported in public areas in several parts of Brazil (Chen and Mucci, 2012;Sprenger et al, 2014;Prestes et al, 2015). These studies highlight the epidemiological importance of these parasites, and the risk for humans which access contaminated areas such as squares, children parks, gardens, beaches and sand boxes in schools.…”

“…Os sintomas clínicos não são frequentes, no entanto em casos extremos o hospedeiro pode apresentar dor de cabeça, diarreia, vômito e em casos crônicos retardamento cognitivo (PRESTES e colab., 2015). A amplitude de contaminação apresentada por esses dois tipos de helmintos é preocupante.…”

“…The presence of fences and enclosures in squares and recreation areas are important factors for preventing soil contamination (SPRENGER; GREEN; MOLENTO, 2014). According to Prestes;Jeske;Santos (2015), physical barriers that prevent access of animals are important measures to prevent zoonotic parasites. In the present study, there were positive samples of endoparasites with zoonotic potential in the fenced squares, demonstrating that even a fenced public square has risks to transmit parasitoses to the population.…”

“…Its transmission is facilitated by the habits of hygiene and improper habits of humans (FERREIRA et al, 2013). It mainly affects children and adults in situations of vulnerability (PRESTES;JESKE;SANTOS, 2015;RIBEIRO, et al, 2013). Because zoonotic diseases are spread from animals to humans, control and prevention measures must be implemented by veterinarians and other health professionals (ARMELIN, CUNHA, 2016).…”
