Abstract

To demonstrate the prevalence of Toxocara spp eggs in public playgrounds in Seoul city, sand samples collected from March to November in 2001 were examined. Of 2,600 sand samples from 650 playgrounds surveyed, 41 sands from 39 places(6%) had Toxocara rims eggs. Sand samples in apartment complex were more contaminated(9.7%) with the eggs than in residential area(2.4%). Toxocara canis eggs in sands were found in large number of in the spring but other seasons were less found.
