Abstract

Introduction: Toxocariasis is caused by Toxocara egg. The eggs, present in dog and cat feces, become infectious within weeks after they are deposited in the local environment. Visceral Larva Migrans (VLM) is one of the major diseases caused by eating Toxocara canis and Toxocara cati eggs, in which Toxocara canis is more significant. Human consumed this worm is affected by toxocariasis. Humans become infected by food and contaminated water. Materials and Methods: In this study, 80 soil samples from 16 parks were collected from larestan. From each place about 200 gram and up to a depth of 5-3 cm of soil was collected. Subsequently, large particles were removed using a conventional sieve. Afterward, a 150-micron beaker was used for separation. Then, to carry out the concentration and separation of Toxocara eggs from the soil with Saturated sucrose method, was used. Results: Of the total number of parks surveyed, 5 parks (31. 25%) contaminated with Toxocara eggs by Saturated sucrose (sheathers) method and the number of eggs found was 32. Conclusion: Toxocariasis is one of the zoonotic diseases. It is necessary to establish rules and regulations for not entering the dogs into parks. A more definitive diagnosis seems essential.
