Abstract
Parasites are biological agents responsible for causing several pathologies in animals and human beings. Because of Farr sanitation, these parasites contaminate the environment and can contaminate water and focal. Vegetables, due to their structure and culturing process, are considered important routes of parasitosis dissemination. This study aims to determine the levels of contamination obtained from the analysis of vegetables sold in open markets, medium-sized commercial establishments and supermarkets from Parnaiba, Piaui. Sixty samples - half of them lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and the others "cheiro-verde", a mix of coriander (Coriadrurn sativurn) and chives (Allium sp.) - from six of the main commercial locations in Parnaiba, Piaui, were analyzed. The samples were processed by the Faust et al. and Hoffman et al. methods. From the samples analyzed, 86.7% of the lettuce and 96.7% of the "cheiro-verde" were contaminated by the parasitic structures. The parasites found in the samples were: rhabditoid larvae of helrninths (rhabditoid larvae, suggesting Strongyloides stereoralis or Ancylostorna sp.), Ancylostorna sp./Strongyloides stercoralis eggs, Entamoeba coli cyst, Toxocara sp. eggs, Entamoeba histolytica/E. dispar cyst and Ascaris lumbricoides eggs. This study proved to be effective in detecting parasites in the analyzed samples, because the results obtained determined determine which establishments had samples of contaminated vegetables and which parasites are most frequently found.

Abstract
This work explores the facile synthesis of a series of antipyrine acetylinic framework (3a-3h). The newly synthesized compounds are recognized by IR, NMR (H-1, C-13), X-ray diffraction. This collection played indispensable role in the development of biologically active agents. Our goal is to enable adoption of green chemistry within the pharmaceutical industry for the benefit of society, industry and the environment. This work articulates a new possible scaffold for drug discovery against protozoal pathogens (Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia) and bacterial strain (Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholera, E. coli, Bacillus subtillus). The purpose of the present undertaking is to put low price anti parasitic drug using green technology. It is envisaged that the alliance of anti pyrine derivative and acetylene framework into a single scaffold boosts the effectiveness of anti bacterial as well as anti-parasitic treatment and may be vital for meeting future challenges in medicinal world.
