Intestinal nematodes affecting dogs, i.e. roundworms, hookworms and whipworms, have a relevant health-risk impact for animals and, for most of them, for human beings. Both dogs and humans are typically infected by ingesting infective stages, (i.e. larvated eggs or larvae) present in the environment. The existence of a high rate of soil and grass contamination with infective parasitic elements has been demonstrated worldwide in leisure, recreational, public and urban areas, i.e. parks, green areas, bicycle paths, city squares, playgrounds, sandpits, beaches. This review discusses the epidemiological and sanitary importance of faecal pollution with canine intestinal parasites in urban environments and the integrated approaches useful to minimize the risk of infection in different settings.
影响犬类的肠道线虫，即蛔虫、钩虫和鞭虫，对动物以及大多数情况下对人类都有重大的健康风险影响。犬类和人类通常都是通过摄入环境中存在的感染阶段（即含幼虫的虫卵或幼虫）而受到感染。在全球范围内，休闲、娱乐、公共和城市区域，如公园、绿地、自行车道、城市广场、操场、沙坑、海滩等，已证实存在感染性寄生元素对土壤和草地的高度污染。本综述讨论了城市环境中犬类肠道寄生虫粪便污染的流行病学和卫生学重要性，以及有助于在不同环境中降低感染风险的综合方法。
