Abstract

Background: Intestinal helminth infection remains a health problem worldwide, especially in tropical and developing countries such as Indonesia.Objective: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence, risk factors and symptoms of intestinal helminth infection in slum dwellers.Methods: The study used a cross sectional design with simple random sampling from March to October 2021 in Tanjung Gusta Village, Sunggal District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra. Participants were 196 people of all ages. Diagnosis was confirmed microscopically by direct preparation method and formol ether concentration method. Statistical analysis used Chi-square test to assess the association of risk factors and symptoms with intestinal helminth infection.Results: The prevalence of intestinal helminths is 24% consisting of mono and mixed infections. The prevalence of Ascaris lumbricoides 22,9%, Trichuris trichiura 8,1%, hookwoorm 7,6% and Hymenolepis nana 1,02%. There was a significant association between age (p=0,000), latrine use (p=0,000), pig farmer (p=0,000), sanitation (p=0,000) and hygiene (p=0,000) with intestinal helminths infection in participants.Conclusion: The risk factors for intestinal helminths infection are age, latrine use, pig raising, sanitation and hygiene.

Abstract

Mosquitoes are the primary vectors for disease transmission in tropical regions such as Indonesia, which has high humidity levels that support their reproduction. Household environmental conditions play a crucial role in determining the presence and density of mosquito larvae as disease vectors. The Medan Denai subdistrict is a densely populated area experiencing an increase in Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) cases. This study analyzes the relationship between household environmental conditions and mosquito larvae density. A survey was conducted on 300 homes divided into three groups. Environmental condition data were collected through direct observation, while the presence of larvae was analyzed using the House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), and Breteau Index (BI) to calculate the Density Figure (DF). Results showed that 24% of homes tested positive for larvae, primarily in dispenser containers. A total of 61% of homes had unclean environmental conditions. The highest DF of 5.3 was found in the 1–100 home group, which falls under the high-risk category for disease transmission. Chi-Square analysis revealed a significant association between environmental conditions and larval density (p = 0.045). These findings underscore the importance of improving environmental conditions as a strategy for mosquito vector control.
