Neglected diseases pose a significant public health problem, particularly for impoverished communities, with parasitic diseases being a prominent concern. Soil plays a crucial role in sustaining parasitic structures, facilitating the spread of infection over prolonged periods. This study aims to evaluate soil contamination in recreational areas of Maceió( Brazil) and analyze the occurrence of various pathogenic species. A total of 42 soil samples were collected from recreational areas, with 21 from the surface and 21 from depth. Each sample was appropriately labeled, packaged, and transported to the laboratory for analysis. The HPJ (Hoffman, Pons, and Jenner) and Ritchie techniques were utilized to process the samples, followed by microscopic readings stained with Lugol. Of the samples analyzed, 34 were positive (80.95%) with multiparasitism, whose helminths being the most prevalent amo...
