- 論文の詳細を見る
Toxocara spp. eggs were detected from 30 (75%) out of 40 sandpits of parks, in Osaka city. This prevalence was higher compared to those reported other areas of Japan. Since we examined a large quantity of sample, this could have resulted to higher prevalence. The number of eggs recovered decreased following fence construction around sandpits, but it did not sufficiently prevent the contamination of eggs. Improvement of fence design and education of sandpit users are necessary when contemplating fence construction around sandpits as a measure against contamination with Toxocara spp. eggs.
