ABSTRACT
 Objective: The uncontrolled access of stray cats and dogs to public areas increases the likelihood of transmitting parasitic infections to humans. These animals can be carriers of zoonotic pathogens and the parasite eggs they spread into the environment pose a serious health risk to humans. Children and individuals with weak immune systems are particularly at risk of contracting these agents. The present study aimed to investigate parasitic agents in soil samples collected from picnic areas of Iğdır region. Material and Methods: For this purpose, 10 picnic areas close to the center of Iğdır and highly preferred by the public were determined and a total of 300 soil samples were collected, 30 from each location. The Kazakos method was applied to all samples and examined under a microscope. Results: As a result, 36 (12%) Toxocara spp. and 11 (3.6%) Taenia spp. eggs were found. Here, the highest contamination was found in the picnic area closest to the center and 30/7 (23.33%) Toxocara spp., 30/2 (6.6%) Taenia spp. Conclusion: The reason for the difference in the proportion of these 10 regions is thought to be due to the difference in distance, presence of fences, and animal densities. It was concluded that Iğdır picnic areas are common in terms of parasitic agents and the public should be made aware of this issue. It is considered important for public health to initiate the necessary protection and controls in this regard.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Başıboş kedi ve köpeklerin kontrolsüz bir şekilde halka açık alanlara girişi, paraziter enfeksiyonların insanlara bulaşma olasılığını artırmaktadır. Bu hayvanlar, zoonotik patojenlerin taşıyıcısı olabilmekte ve çevreye yaydıkları parazit yumurtaları, insanlar için ciddi bir sağlık riski oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle çocuklar ve immun sistemi zayıf olan bireyler bu etkenlere yakalanma konusunda risk grubunu oluşturmaktadırlar. Sunulan bu çalışmada, Iğdır bölgesi piknik alanlarından toplanan toprak örneklerinde paraziter etkenlerin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bunun için Iğdır merkeze yakın ve halkın yoğun tercih ettiği 10 tane piknik alanı belirlenmiş, her alandan 30 adet olmak üzere toplamda 300 adet toprak örneği toplanmıştır. Örneklerin tümüne Kazakos yöntemi uygulanarak mikroskop altında incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Sonuç olarak 36 (%12) Toxocara spp. ve 11 (%3,6) tane de Taenia spp. yumurtasına benzer yumurtalara rastlanmıştır. Burada en fazla kontaminasyonunun merkeze en yakın olan piknik bölgesinde olduğu ve oran olarak 30/7 (%23,33) Toxocara spp., 30/2 (%6,6) Taenia spp. olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu 10 tane bölgenin oran olarak farklılık göstermesinin nedeninin mesafe, çit varlığı ve hayvan yoğunluklarının farklı olmasına bağlı olduğu düşünülmüştür. Iğdır piknik alanlarının paraziter etkenler açısından yaygın olduğu ve bu konuda halkın bilinçlendirilmesi gerektiği kanısına varılmıştır. Bu konuda gerekli koruma ve kontrollerin başlatılmasının halk sağlığı açısından önemli olduğu değerlendirilmiştir.
