Public parks, especially in developing countries, are places where stray animals run free and may contaminate the environment with different species of parasites. In an evaluation of environmental sanitation of these sites, soil samples were collected monthly from public parks in the Pelotas city, Rio Grande do Sul State, Southern Brazil. Eggs of the nematode Lagochilascaris sp. were found in a public playground. This is the first report of identification of this nematode in Southern Brazil.
公共公园，特别是在发展中国家，是流浪动物自由奔跑的地方，它们可能会使环境受到不同种类寄生虫的污染。在对这些地点环境卫生进行评估时，从巴西南里奥格兰德州佩洛塔斯市的公共公园每月采集土壤样本。在一个公共游乐场发现了旋毛线虫属Lagochilascaris sp. 的虫卵。这是在巴西南部首次鉴定出这种线虫。
