ABSTRACT
Background : The transmission of Soil Transmited Helminths (STH) can occur by contaminated food of infective egg. The types of food most often contaminated such as cabbage and lettuce. This study aimed to find the contamination of STH eggs and identified the eggs type which contaminated in the traditional market of Jambi city..
Methods: This study was a descriptive research which were done at Biomedical Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Jambi on July-August 2018. Samples taken from three traditional market in the Jambi city that is Talang Banjar, Angso Duo, and Simpang Pulai market. Vegetable samples consisted of 9 cabbage and 9 lettuce from each market. Fifty gram samples were examined by the sedimentation method.
Results: There were STH eggs on 16 (29.6%) vegetable samples. The type of STH eggs which contaminated lettuce were Ascaris lumbricoides 6 (37.50%) samples, Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura 3 (18.75%) samples, Hookworm 2 samples (12.50%), and Trichuris trichiura 1 sample (6.25%). The type of STH eggs which contaminated cabbage were Ascaris lumbricoides 2 (12.50%) samples, Trichuris trichiura 1 (6.25%) sample, and Hookworm 1 (6.25%) sample.
Conclusion: There were STH contamination on cabbage and lattuce in the traditional market in Jambi city
