The risk of zoonotic parasitic infections is closely linked to direct and indirect interactions between animals humans. mutual coexistence species in public spaces predisposes individuals gastrointestinal parasitosis owing various social hygienic-sanitary factors. This study aimed assess the environmental contamination by parasites fecal samples collected from parks squares 18 municipalities located a microregion central plateau Brazil, correlating collection with population size each municipality. We 536 soil 117 randomly selected areas across 56,111.874 km2 region. Eggs, cysts, oocysts were detected using Willis flotation technique Hoffman’s spontaneous sedimentation method. analysis revealed that 70.3% infected 91.5% sampled areas. Identified included members family Ancylostomatidae (56.5%), Toxocara spp. (6.2%), Trichuris (1.7%), Strongyloides (0.2%), Dipylidium caninum (25.8%), Spirometra (0.4%), Taeniidae Platynosomum fastosum (0.6%), Trematoda Giardia (3.2%), Cystoisospora (5.6%), Sarcocystis Entamoeba (2.4%). presence positive correlated populations up 10,000 inhabitants (p = 0.023). Areas contaminated feces 63.4% more likely contain than other (odds ratio 1.6336). Favorable factors combined inadequate sanitary management contribute high contamination, representing significant potential highlighting need for improved health policies preventive measures.
