Abstract

Cutaneous larva migrans in children from Taciba, São Paulo, Brazil, was related to contact with sand in public squares, where Ancylostoma spp larvae were detected. The outbreaks were controlled by sanitary education, temporary deactivation and isolation of the squares in order to impede the access of animals and substitution of the sand.
