Abstract: Among the geohelminths, parasites from the Ascarididae family have a significant role in the human and animal health. This research aims to determine the prevalence of Ascarididae species in the soil in different areas located in a city of Minas Gerais State, Brazil (South America). The study was developed in squares, parks, sports clubs, orchards and municipal children's schools. Samples of sand/soil/grass were collected from January to August 2014. The optical microscope screening was performed through forma… Show more

“…We believe this is the reason why the presence of STH was negligible. The influence of soil type on the distribution of STH has been observed in other studies [41, 46, 47] and future studies in Argentina should evaluate this relationship.…”

“…Baermann technique detected five larvae and Hoffmann two larvae, concluding that Baermann technique (Ueno & Gonçalves, 1998) was more efficient for larval recovery, as shown in this presente work. Mota et al (2018) in their evaluation studies in samples from parks, schools and clubs in Uberlândia-MG, employing different techniques compared to this present study, reported eggs of Ancylostoma sp., 11.90% by Hoffmann technique and 4.76% by Ritchie; Ascarididae eggs identification 5.43% and 12.5% respectively; and Strongyloides larvae 19.7% and 21.3%, respectively.…”

A infecção com sinais clínicos é mais recorrente em crianças (MOTA et al, 2018). O diagnóstico da ascaridíase é feito pela observação de ovos no exame coproparasitológico pelas técnicas de flutuação.…”
