This represent a substantial Public Health risk factor, from an epidemiological point of view, due to the strong environmental contamination of stray dog's feces, without any deworming program and with a high probability of carrying pathogens and parasites, easily transmitted to man. Natural transmission of parasitic infections from dogs to man may occur, directly or indirectly, via environmental factors and represent a potential public health risk, particularly to individuals with close contact with those animals (Pullola et al. In fact, parasitic infections were observed specially in the third collection, in young animals that had recently arrived and were dewormed, revealing a severe environmental contamination with a higher risk of zoonotic transmission from dogs. ./cache/cord-298155-ou8vjogc.txt ./txt/cord-298155-ou8vjogc.txt
