Introduction: Zoonotic diseases are transmitted from animals to humans, compromising their health. The high concentration of dogs and cats in urban areas plays an important epidemiological role on soil contamination and thus in the dissemination of zoonotic diseases. The ingestion of eggs, cysts or oocysts of parasites and the penetration of helminths larvae in the skin are frequently related to environmental contamination. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of parasites in soil and/or sand samples in Brazil by a systematic review. Methods: A total of 43 papers were selected from SciELO Brasil, LILACS-Bireme PubMed/NCBI and Scopus, published between 2009 and 2019. The search was performed using the tems parasites, soil, sand and Brazil. Results: A higher number of publications occurred from 2012 to 2017. Studies were mainly concentrated in Southeast and South regions. Hence, further studies are needed in regions where there is limited basic sanitation. Ancilostomidae (larvae or eggs) were the most frequent parasites found in 41.8% of studies, followed by Toxocara spp. (32.6%) and Ascaris spp. (14%). Conclusion: The knowledge on the presence of parasites in the environment and its potential of contamination to the population is essential. Thus, the promotion of educational campaigns related to the implementation of zoonotic control is required in order to avoid the dissemination of parasites in the environment. Keywords: Parasites. Sand. Soil. Zoonoses. Brazil.

Objective To monitor the frequency of enteroparasites in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and parsley (Petrosolium sativum) samples, marketed in commercial buildings in the municipality of Jaguaré, Espírito Santo, Brazil.Materials and Methods Between August 2016 and July 2017, five different popular commercial buildings (markets, supermarkets and fairs) in the municipality of Jaguaré, considered the main local vegetable suppliers were selected. Throughout the research, 30 vegetable samples were randomly selected for parasitological analysis in 3 replicates for each commercial building under study. The obtained samples were analyzed by the modified spontaneous sedimentation method at the Laboratory of Parasitology and Hematology of Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo.Results Of the 30 samples analyzed, 83.3% were positive for parasitic contamination and the most common parasites were Hookworm, Balantidium coli, Isospora belli, Ascaris sp. and Entamoeba sp.Conclusions The results indicate a high degree of contamination of the vegetables, probably related to the precariousness of production, transportation and handling, making it necessary to adopt measures that ensure the best quality of food and, consequently, better population health.

The Tropical Council for Companion Animal Parasites Ltd. (TroCCAP) is a not-forprofit organisation whose mission is to independently inform, guide and make bestpractice recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and control of companion animal parasites in the tropics and sub-tropics, with the aim of protecting animal and human health. In line with this primary mission, TroCCAP recently developed guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and control of feline and canine parasites in the tropics. The development of these guidelines required unique and complex considerations to be addressed, often inapplicable to developed nations. Much of the tropics encompass middle-to-low income countries in which poor standards of environmental hygiene and large populations of stray dogs and cats coexist. In these regions, a range of parasites pose a high risk to companion animals, which ultimately may place their owners at risk of acquiring parasitic zoonoses. These considerations led to the development of unique recommendations with regard, for example, to deworming and endoparasite testing intervals for the control of both global and 'region-specific' parasites in the tropics.Moreover, the 'off-' or 'extra'-label use of drugs for the treatment and control of parasitic infections is common practice in many tropical countries and many generic products lack manufacturers' information on efficacy, safety, and quality control.Recommendations and advice concerning the use of such drugs and protocols are also addressed in these guidelines. The formation of these guidelines is an important first step towards improving the education of veterinarians specifically regarding bestpractice for the diagnosis, treatment and control of canine and feline parasites in the tropics.

Identification of enteroparasites in recreation areas of elementary schools in Northern Espírito Santo, Brazil

Abstract: Considering that individuals, especially children living in poor sanitation conditions, are more prone to enteroparasites, studies point to the need of the application of preventive and health education measures for the population enrolled in municipal schools in São Mateus.
