Keywords: Dog, children playgraund, parasite and bacterial pathogens

The aim of this study was to determine the presence and prevalence of parasites in dogs in Istanbul, to determine the parasites pathogenic for humans among them by stool cultures, as well as to determine the parasites and bacteria in sand and soil specimens, collected from play pens, which can contaminate or infect children.One hundred and thirteen play area in 50 locations in 20 quarters of Istanbul were searched; 277 stool and 523 sand specimens were collected in our study. Microscopic examination for parasites and culture for bacterial pathogens were applied to all specimens.Out of the 277 stool specimens, nematode larvae in 76(27.43%), Toxocara spp. ova in 28(10.10%), Taenia spp. ova in 16(5.77%), Dipylidium caninum ova in nine(3.24%), Trichuris spp ova in seven(2.52%), Isospora spp. oocysts in six(2.16%), Ascaris spp ova in six (2.16%), Dicrocoelium spp. ova in six(2.16%) were determined. No parasites were found in the remaining 123(44.40%) stool specimens. Nematode larvae in 55(10.51%), Achantamoeba in 10(1.91%), Toxocara spp. ova in six(1.14%), Entamoeba coli cysts in five(0.95%), Dipylidium caninum ova in three(0.57%), Dicrocoelium spp. ova in three(0.57%), Entamoeba histolytica cysts in two(0.38%), Ascaris spp . ova in two(0.38%) of the 523 sand specimens were observed. No positive parasitologic findings were found in the remaining 437(83.55%) sand specimens. One or more bacterial isolates were determined in 265 of the 277 stool specimens. 71(5.50%) of the stool isolates were Escherichia coli, 65(5.04%) Proteus spp. 52(4.03%) Enterobacter spp. 38(2.94%) Gram positive rods, 31(2.40%) coagulase negative staphylococci, 29(2.24%) nonfermentative Gram negative rods, 26(2.01%) Klebsiella spp. 22(1.70%) Citrobacter spp. 22(1.70%) S. aureus, 17(1.31%) Pseudomonas spp. 13(1.00%) Morganella spp. 12(0.93%) Serratia marcescens, 11(0.85%) yeasts, seven(0.54%) Edwardsiella spp, six(0.46%) Providencia spp and three(0.23%) Salmonella spp.

In 502 of the 523 sand specimens, one or more bacterial isolates were obtained. 149(11.55%) of them were E.coli, 10 4(8.06%) Proteus spp. 97(7.52%) Enterobacter spp, 84(6.51%) Gram positive rods, 74(5.73%) coagulase negative staphylococci, 59(4.57%) Klebsiella spp, 54(4.19%) Citrobacter spp. 52(4.03%) nonfermentative Gram negative rods, 41(3.18%) Pseudomonas spp. 38(2.95%) S. aureus, 33(2.55%) Serratia marcescens, 28(2.17%) Morganella spp, 24(1.86%) yeasts, 17(1.32%) Providencia spp, 10(0.77%) Edwardsiella spp. and one(0.08%) Salmonella spp.
