One hundred faecal specimens, randomly collected from various locations within seven public parks in the west of Scotland, were examined for the presence of Giardia sp. cysts and Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts. Eleven percent of samples contained Giardia sp. cysts and 1% contained Cryptosporidium sp. oocysts. Occurrence data from individual parks varied from 0 to 40% for Giardia and 0 to 2.4% for Cryptosporidium. The occurrence of parasitic organisms in public parks, especially in the vicinity of children's playing areas is a matter of concern for public health officials and regulators of leisure and recreation amenities.
从苏格兰西部七个公共公园的不同地点随机采集了100份粪便样本,检测其中贾第虫属包囊和隐孢子虫属卵囊的存在情况。11%的样本含有贾第虫属包囊,1%的样本含有隐孢子虫属卵囊。各个公园的检出数据显示,贾第虫的检出率在0至40%之间,隐孢子虫的检出率在0至2.4%之间。公共公园中,尤其是儿童游乐区附近寄生生物的出现,是公共卫生官员以及休闲和娱乐设施监管机构关注的问题。
