ABSTRACT
In order to verify the contamination by Ancylostoma sp. and Toxocara sp., 40 fecal samples were collected from dogs, 20 of them from the fire brigade and military police, and 20 from wandering animals collected by the Zoonoses Control Center (CCZ). Samples were stored in plastic bags, identified with the location, date, and information of the animal (name, age, sex, deworming and castrated when possible). The samples were sent to the Laboratory of Parasitology of Uece where they were stored and later analyzed. Of the total samples analyzed, 30% presented contamination by Ancylostoma sp., 22.5% of them presented contamination by Toxocara sp. and 12.5% contamination by Ancylostoma sp and Toxocara sp.
