Conclusion
It was important to note that 6.9% of the children were seropositive for Toxocara. Although our study did not find a significant association with childhood asthma, toxocariasis is a severe threat to children who have contact with soil in the studied area. Therefore it is necessary to establish programs to prevent this neglected tropical disease. We recommend control measures for toxocariasis through health education regarding preventing young children from lying in contaminated soil. It is suggested that more studies on regions such as urban and rural areas with a large sample size be conducted to investigate the association between toxocariasis and childhood asthma.
