PERBANDINGAN GAMBARAN TELUR NEMATODA USUS Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) PADA KUKU PETUGAS SAMPAH DAN PETANI

Abstract

Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) are intestinal nematodes that can be transmitted through the soil. More than 1.5 billion people or 24% of the world's population have been infected with Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) worms and in Indonesia the number of worms is 66% of the 220 million population. Transmission of worm infection to humans can occur through nails or hands that have been contaminated by soil containing human feces. Garbage collectors and farmers are professions that often come into contact with the land. This study is a systematic review designed descriptively, carried out through a literature study, with the aim of comparing the picture of the intestinal nematode eggs of Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) on the nails of garbage collectors and farmers. The research objects used were 6 articles: Erisa Listiany, et al (2020), Jessy Novita Sari and Gustomo Yamistada (2020), Sofi Ulfayanti (2017), Dina Apriana, et al (2020), Herlina Hariya Pasha (2021), and Alisia Renata Renyaan, et al (2020). Flotation and sedimentation examination methods were used to determine the infection of STH eggs in waste collectors and farmers. Through the results of research on six articles, it was found that STH eggs for waste collectors reached 22.07% and for farmers it reached 13.3%; Ascaris lumbricoides was the most common species; personal hygiene of garbage collectors and farmers tends to be in the poor category.
