Abstract

Diseases related to parasitosis are a relevant public health problem due to the different complications that these can cause, and the provision of epidemiological data is aimed at reversing this situation. The objective of this work was to evaluate the frequency of eggs and larvae of helminths in the county of Macapá, as well as the influence of seasonality on the incidence of contamination of public squares in seasons from winter to summer. In this study 1 sample containing 3 strategic points of soil of each square was analyzed, totaling 39 squares, divided in different neighborhoods. The choice was made according to the zones that divide the county, totaling 39 samples in properly sealed containers. The methods used were: Hoffman, Direct, Willis and Baermann Moraes. The results showed the high parasitic load in the public places, mainly in the winter season, when we noted a high prevalence of Toxocara spp. In the summer and winter we obtained a highest prevalence of Ancylostoma spp. eggs, which justifies an immediate action by the public authorities regarding the presence of these agents in the environment, with control of animals, basic sanitation, availability of treatment and periodic maintenance of public squares.
