Abstract

Abstract: Helminthiasis is an infection that generally occurs in humans and is often caused by worm parasites, specifically intestinal nematodes, that are transmitted into the body through soil or so-called Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH). Traditional miners are at high risk to suffer from helminthiasis caused by STH due to frequent contact with soil. Soyoan Village was chosen based on an initial survey. It was found that the majority of its population are traditional gold miners.  Most mining activities still use simple safety equipment, along with poor sanitation in the area and miners having frequent contact with the ground.  If the helminthiasis is left alone, in addition to causing anemia and malnutrition, it can also cause workloads that inhibit concentration, a decrease in work ability and eventually death. This study to identify helminthiasis in traditional mining workers. A total of 16 miners (18%) out of 86 miners suffered from helminthiasis. All positive samples were infected by STH, specifically hookworm.  The highest number of respondents were male with a number of 85 people (99%), and there was only 1 female (1%). Most respondents were in the age group of 26-35 with a total of 27 people (31%). A total of 16 respondents (18%) had helminthiasis infection caused by STH, specifically hookworm. In conclusion, helminthiasis prevalence is still relatively low, so disease control can still be done easily.Keywords: Helminthiasis, traditional miners  Abstrak: Kecacingan merupakan infeksi yang umumnya terjadi pada manusia dan paling sering disebabkan oleh parasit cacing jenis nematoda usus yang ditularkan  ke dalam tubuh melalui tanah atau disebut Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH). Profesi penambang tradisional termasuk kelompok beresiko tinggi mengalami infeksi kecacingan yang disebabkan oleh STH karena sering berkontak dengan tanah. Desa Soyoan dipilih berdasarkan survei awal, didapatkan bahwa mayoritas penduduknya adalah penambang emas  tradisional. Aktifitas pertambangan kebanyakan masih menggunakan alat pengaman diri seadanya, sanitasi yang buruk dan sering berkontak dengan tanah. Apabila infeksi kecacingan dibiarkan maka selain menyebabkan anemia, dan malnutrisi juga dapat menimbulkan beban kerja yang membuat konsentrasi terhambat, terjadinya penurunan kemampuan kerja sampai kematian. Penambang yang mengalami infeksi kecacingan sebanyak 16 orang (18%) dari 86 sampel subyek penelitian. Semua sampel yang positif terinfeksi oleh cacing STH jenis cacing tambang. Jumlah responden  terbanyak berjenis kelamin laki-laki sebanyak 85 orang (99%) dan jenis kelamin perempuan 1 orang (1%), responden terbanyak berada di kelompok usia 26-35 tahun sebanyak 27 orang (31%).  Sebanyak 16 orang responden (18%) yang mengalami infeksi  kecacingan oleh cacing STH jenis cacing tambang. Simpulannya ialah prevalensi kecacingan masih tergolong rendah sehingga pengontrolan penyakit masih dapat dilakukan dengan mudah.Kata kunci : Kecacingan, pekerja tambang tradisional

Abstract: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a viral disease that can cause death within a very short time (a few days). The main vector of DHF is Aedes aegypti mosquito, whereas the potential vector is Aedes albopictus. In the context of prevention of DHF, environmental data associated with bionomics mosquito vector of DHF, the Maya Index, are needed. DHF is still a public health problem. And for the case that there is in the city of Manado in 2013, in this case in the district of Singkil, acquired as many as 43 cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever. This study aimed to describe the Maya Index at the houses of dengue hemorrhagic fever patients in the village of West Kombos, Singkil districts. Maya Index is based on hygiene risk index (HRI) and breeding risk index (BRI). This was a descriptive study. Samples were houses of patients with DHF in 2015 from January to December. The results showed that there were four patients during the year 2015. Observation of the four houses and calculation of the data indicated that two houses were in low category of Maya Index, one house in medium category of Maya Index, and one house in high category of Maya Index. Keywords: dengue hemorrhagic fever, Maya index Abstrak: Demam berdarah dengue (DBD) adalah penyakit virus yang berbahaya karena dapat menyebabkan kematian dalam waktu yang sangat singkat (beberapa hari). Vektor utama DBD ialah nyamuk Aedes aegypti, sedangkan vektor potensialnya ialah Aedes albopictus. Dalam konteks penanggulangan DBD, juga diperlukan data lingkungan terkait dengan segi bionomik nyamuk vektor DBD, yaitu Indeks Maya. DBD masih merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat di kota Manado. Pada tahun 2013, di Kecamatan Singkil didapatkan sebanyak 43 kasus DBD. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran Indeks Maya pada rumah penderita DBD di Kelurahan Kombos Barat Kecamatan Singkil. Indeks Maya didasarkan pada hygiene risk index (HRI) dan breeding risk index (BRI). Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif. Sampel penelitian ialah rumah dari penderita DBD tahun 2015 sejak bulan Januari-Desember. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan empat penderita sepanjang tahun 2015 dan setelah dilakukan observasi ke rumah penderita dan perhitungan data didapatkan dua rumah masuk pada kategori Indeks Maya rendah, satu rumah masuk pada kategori Indeks Maya sedang, dan satu rumah masuk kategori Indeks Maya tinggi.Kata kunci: demam berdarah dengue, indeks Maya

Abstract: As a tropical country with high humidity, Indonesia has the potential to become a breeding ground for Aedes spp. mosquitoes, which is the vector of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). This study aimed to obtain an overview of the density of Aedes spp. larvae in water containers at Paal Dua, Manado. This was a descriptive survey study. The larvae samples found were then taken to be identified microscopically. The results obtained 100 houses to be surveyed; 12 houses were positive for larvae. Containers with the highest percentage of positive larvae were water drums (66.67%), and the lowest ones were pans (7.14%). Based on the identification results, the percentage of Aedes aegypti larvae was 58.33% and of Aedes albopictus was 41.67%. Meanwhile, based on the calculation, the House Index (HI) was 12%, the Container Index (CI) was 10.25%, the Breteau Index (BI) was 12%, and the Larvae Free Rate (LFR) was 88%. In conclusion, the density of Aedes spp. larvae at water reservoirs at Paal Dua, Manado, is in the moderate level.

Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease that occurs throughout the world, especially in the tropics. One of the factors that cause the high incidence of malaria is the behavior of the community towards malaria. People's lives during the Covid-19 pandemic have changed a lot, especially in the field of individual hygiene and the environment. Data from the Talawaan Health Center in 2020 found 4 cases of people suffering from malaria in Talawaan District, North Minahasa Regency, which increased from 2019 with a total of only 2 cases of malaria infection. This study aims to determine the behavior of the people of Kolongan Village, Talawaan District, North Minahasa Regency, towards malaria during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study is a descriptive study that is observational in nature. The people of Kolongan Village, Talawaan District, North Minahasa Regency, have good knowledge about malaria and the signs and symptoms of malaria during the Covid-19 pandemic, but knowledge related to the malaria incubation period is still limited. Respondents' attitudes regarding malaria during the Covid-19 pandemic have been relatively good, which is shown by closing doors and windows to avoid mosquitoes from entering, maintaining environmental cleanliness for malaria prevention, and draining puddles to avoid mosquito shelters.
