Abstract

Background : Environmental in tropical rainforest with warm temperature duo to the increasing risk of strongyloidiasis where low sanitation and personal hygiene of communities. Sebuntal sub-distric, East Kalimantan has an high risk of the infections Objective : This study would be showed the infection rates, the correlation analysis between the risk factors and the prevalence of strongyloidiasis Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : A cross-sectional study was performed among 118 participants from the rural community of Sebuntal sub-district. This study would be showed the infection rates, the correlation analysis between the risk factors and the prevalence of strongyloidiasis had used logistic regression analysis. Kato Katz technique and Koga agar plate culture/KAP culture method were be used in this study for diagnosing of the infections. Results : The infection was found In this study was founded the infection; 16 (13.3%). The high risk of strongyloidiasis were occupation; 2.08 (0.99-4.35), drinking water; 1.99 (1.08-3.69), personal hygiene especially usual foot washing after soil contact 1.26 (1.01-1.58), usual un-cook vegetable 1.27 (0.98-1.63), and wash hand after soil contact1.27 (1.02-1.58) respectively. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The ecological and social roots of the risk factors that important for preventing the program. The analysis of risk factors important for prevention program

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of hookworm infection is a serious public health concern globally. Java Island and Kalimantan Island have differential environmental risk factors of hookworm infection, espe­cial­ly in rural areas of Indonesia, which have high-risk environmental factors for the prevalence of hook­worm infection. This study aimed to investigate the infection rates and correlation between environmental risk factors and the prevalence of hookworm infection. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among 226 school children from rural East Java province, Central Java Province, and East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. A simple random sampling method was applied to select participants from each school area. This study used two diagnostic methods: Kato Katz and Koga agar plate culture/KAP culture for diagnosing hookworm infections. Environmental variables examined included soil texture, organic carbon content, clay content, soil pH, rainfall volume, number of rainy days, humidity, temperature, elevation, vegetation type, and pet infection status. Pearson's chi-square analysis was used to study the correlation between environmental factors and hookworm infection. Results: Hookworm, Strongyloides sp, and Ascaris sp infections were found in this study; 137 (60.63%), 25 (11.1%), and 124 (9.84%), respectively. Environmental risk factors such as rainy season, quality of soil, and infection with hookworm in pets have a significant correlation (p<0.050) with hookworm infection among schoolchildren in a rural area in Indonesia. Conclusion: The prevalence of hookworm infection correlates with environmental factors, and the findings in this research could contribute to decreasing the prevalence of hookworm infection, espe­cially among schoolchildren in rural areas.
