RESUMO
The contamination of public squares by zoonotic potential parasites was evaluated at the urban areas in the municipality of Itabuna Brasil. For such, 119 fecal samples of dogs were collected at 10 public squares. After that, these feces samples were transported to the Parasitology Laboratory in the UESC and they were analyzed by Mariano and Carvalho's method. Of the total analized samples, 56.3 percent show some parasitic evolutive form. Ancylostoma sp. was the most frequently (47.9 percent), followed by Strongyloides stercortalis (6.7 percent), Toxocara canis and Trichuris vulpis eggs (4.2 percent) each, Endolimax nana cysts (2.5 percent), and Giardia intestinalis and Entamoeba coli cysts (0.8 percent) each.
Avaliou-se a contaminação de praças públicas da área urbana do município de Itabuna, BA, Brasil, por parasitos zoonóticos presentes em fezes de cães. Foram coletadas 119 amostras fecais de cães em 10 praças. Logo após, estas fezes foram encaminhadas ao Laboratório de Parasitologia da UESC e analisadas pelo método de Mariano e Carvalho. Do total das amostras analisadas, 56,3 por cento continham alguma forma evolutiva parasitária, sendo o parasita mais freqüente Ancylostoma sp. com 47,9 por cento, seguido por 6,7 por cento de Strongyloides stercortalis, 4,2 por cento tanto para ovos de Toxocara canis quanto de Trichuris vulpis, 2,5 por cento para cistos de Endolimax nana, e 0,8 por cento tanto para cistos de Giardia intestinalis quanto para os de Entamoeba coli.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the losses provoked by the moth Hyalospila ptychis (Dyar) on green-dwarf coconut trees at Una, State of Bahia, Brazil. Inflorescences of 100 trees were inspected monthly, from April 1997 to March 1998, in a 15 ha orchard. The number of coconuts per inflorescence, fruits damaged by H. ptychis, and fruit losses due to other causes, were recorded. The number of nuts per inflorescence followed a seasonal variation. The average losses caused by the pest were around 2% of the coconuts and the proportion of losses due to other causes was 59,4%. The number of coconuts lost for other causes and attacked by H. ptychis followed the seasonal variation of the number of fruits per inflorescence. The percent of coconuts attacked by H. ptychis was significantly and positively correlated with monthly average temperature.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as perdas causadas por lagartas de Hyalospila ptychis (Dyar) em coqueiro da variedade anã-verde (Cocos nucifera L.), no município de Una, BA. Para isso, foram inspecionadas mensalmente, de abril de 1997 a março de 1998, as inflorescências de 100 árvores distribuídas numa área de 15 ha, registrando-se o número de frutos por inflorescência, os frutos atacados por H. ptychis e os perdidos por outras causas. O número de frutos por inflorescência apresentou variação sazonal. As perdas médias causadas pela praga foram da ordem de 2 por cento e a proporção média de frutos que abortaram por causa desconhecida foi de 59,4 por cento. O número de frutos perdidos por outras causas e o número de frutos atacados por H. ptychis acompanharam a variação sazonal do número de frutos por inflorescência. A percentagem de frutos atacados por H. ptychis foi correlacionada significativa e positivamente com a temperatura média mensal.
