Abstract

The monthly variation of the occurrence of eggs of Toicocara sp.s.was examined in the soil of 10 public squares from the urban area of Londrina (state of Parana), during the period between February, 1975 and May, 1976. All sarnples examined included eggs of Totcocara sp. However, fertile eggs were only
cyclically found in certain periods of May-June and September to December of
1975 and May, 1976. This finding is discussed and its possible relationships to
rut in bitches is suggested.
