| description | Toxocara canis is an Ascarideo nematode, common in the small intestine of dogs, which become infected through transplacental migration by galactogen way, or embryonated eggs ingestion. It also infects humans, mainly affects children under five years old, producing human toxocariasis, and classified as a neglected zoonosis. Infestation is especially spread by ingestion of contaminated soil and vegetables without adaquated health management, and causing illiness such as Migratory Syndrome Visceral Larva, plus dermal and ocular toxocariasis. The aim of the study was to determine by the Sloss technique the presence of Toxocara canis eggs in Duitama three public parks soils, besides to identify the Toxocara canis transmission mechanisms in the population that goes to these parks. For that purpose, were collected 76 samples from the ground, 10 cm long, by 10 cm wide, and 3 cm depth, then stored in sealed plastic bags, for a later study at the laboratory. The results indicate that parasite eggs were found in 34.7% of the samples collected, ponting a risk level to the population. According to Variables pH, humidity and strata, no association between them and the identification ofthe egg was obtained. Nevertheless, the presence of T. canis in the parks indicates that the population of the city of Duitama is exposed to the serious potential risk of acquiring the parasite. |

Toxocara canis es un nemátodo frecuente en el intestino delgado de los perros, que se infestan a través de migración transplacentaria, vía galactógena o por ingestión de huevos embrionados, infecta también a las personas, principalmente a menores de cinco años, produciendo la toxocariasis humana, zoonosis catalogada como desatendida, se adquiere especialmente por ingesta de tierra contaminada y verduras sin adecuado manejo sanitario, y causa enfermedades como el Síndrome de Larva Migrans visceral y cutánea y Toxocariasis ocular. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar, mediante la técnica de Sloss, la presencia de huevos de Toxocara canis en suelos de tres parques públicos de Duitama, y, además, identificar los mecanismos de trasmisión de la Toxocara canis en la población que acude a estos parques. Para ello se colectaron 76 muestras de suelo de 10 cm de largo por 10 cm de ancho y 3 de profundidad, las cuales fueron repartidas en dos estratos y almacenadas en bolsas plásticas herméticas para su posterior estudio en el laboratorio. Los resultados obtenidos indican que los huevos del parásito se encontraron en el 34.7% de las muestras recolectadas, señalando un nivel de riesgo para la población. De acuerdo con las variables pH, humedad y estratos, no se obtuvo asociación entre estas y la identificación del huevo. La presencia de T. canis en los parques indica que la población de la ciudad de Duitama está expuesta al riesgo potencial de adquirir el parásito.
