title: [Biological infection of soil on the flooded areas of Wrocław City].
abstract: The distribution of geohelminth eggs on the appartment backyards of Wrocław city after flood disaster was studied. Out of 100 soil samples examined 17% were positive. Toxocara spp.eggs were present in 6% samples examined, Ascaris spp. in 2% and other eggs (Capilaria sp. and Trichuris vulpis) in 9% samples examined. Soil contamination of Wrocław area was much less than in other cities of Poland and Europe. The prevalence of geohelminth eggs on flooded areas was very similar to that on the not-flooded areas although the number of eggs recovered was twice as high on flooded areas.
