The aim of this topic was study the contamination of Abadan public parks with  Toxocara  eggs.    Materials and methods  Two hundred and ninety one samples of soil were collected from 31 parks.

Results  Eighty five (29.2%) out of 291 samples were infected with  Toxocara  spp. eggs, means19 (61.2%) of the 31 parks were contaminated. There was no significant difference between the urban and suburb parks contamination (p = 0.208) but there was significant relation between contamination with  Toxocara  spp. eggs and traces of cats and dogs presence in the parks (p = 0.001).
