Toxocara spp. is a nematode which causes "larvae migrans visceralis" syndrome in human, especially in children. Cats and dogs are the source of infective eggs of this parasite in human environment. The eggs appear in a soil of urban and rural areas in large number. We have investigated samples of a soil from the recreation areas in Katowice city and its suburbs. The goal of this study was to determine the degree of soil contamination with eggs of Toxocara spp. Of 157 samples examined 79 (50%) contained the eggs. The highest number of eggs has been found in samples collected from landscapes, particulary from the lawn and playgrounds.
弓首线虫属是一种线虫，可在人类尤其是儿童中引发“内脏幼虫移行症”综合征。猫和狗是人类环境中这种寄生虫感染性虫卵的来源。这些虫卵大量出现在城乡土壤中。我们对卡托维兹市及其郊区休闲区的土壤样本进行了调查。本研究的目的是确定土壤被弓首线虫属虫卵污染的程度。在157份检测样本中，有79份（50%）含有虫卵。在从景观区域采集的样本中，尤其是草坪和操场的样本中，发现的虫卵数量最多。
