Abstract

A farmer is someone who works in agriculture and is in direct contact with the soil every day without using personal protective equipment. Some farmers also use organic fertilizer as an additional fertilizer to fertilize plants. Coupled with personal hygiene and low environmental sanitation, these things are factors that cause infection with soil-transmitted helminth worms. The purpose of this study was to identify the eggs of intestinal nematodes of the STH class on the nails of farmers. This research was conducted by laboratory observation using the flotation research method. The object of this research is the nails of farmers in Kampuno Village, Barebbo District, Bone Regency, with 30 samples. The results of the research conducted were that 2 samples (6.67%) were positive for STH worm eggs, namely hookworm, and 28 samples (93.3%) were negative; no STH worm eggs were found. So, it can be concluded that two samples of intestinal nematodes of the STH group were found on the nails of farmers.

Abstract

Pediculosis is an infectious disease caused by lice with symptoms of itching on various parts of the skin. Living in a crowded environment means that foster children have the same personal hygiene and use shared combs. Orphanage sanitation facilities are not good and the bedrooms are narrow which also affects the cleanliness of every foster child living in the orphanage. This study aims to determine the description of pediculosis in children from orphanages in Jalan Andi Mappaodang, Makassar City. The type of research used in this research is descriptive with laboratory observation tests. The population in this study is all children from the orphanage. The sample used was 20 children in several orphanages. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with the criteria of age 3-11 years, hair length, and gender. Based on research that has been conducted, all of the 20 lice samples from respondents examined were positive, namely infected with pediculosis, so it can be concluded that children in several orphanages are 100% positive for Pediculosis infection.
