Prevalence of Toxocara canis infection in public squares of the Concórdia City, Santa Catarina, Brazil

Schools, squares andparks where sand is present can constitute an important transmission form for several parasitic zoonosis, representing a potential risk, mainly for children in school age that play at these places. Among the several zoonosis, visceral larva migrans (VLM), is an important patholog...
