“…Contamination by parasites in the soil can occur through organic fertilizer from animal manure or associated with unhealthy defecation habits, not in latrines but on plantation soil. Research conducted on coffee plantation workers in Jember Regency found that workers infected with hookworms had defecation in the plantation area (32.47%) so that the plantation soil was contaminated with hookworm larvae [21]. Research in India on tea plantation workers also obtained the same results that female tea picker workers defecate in the trenches between tea trees [22].…”

“…Research in Southern Ethiopia also showed that raw vegetables were the most contaminated by Ascaris lumbricoides, which was 12.6%, while hookworm occupied the lowest position, which was only 2.6% of the 270 samples studied [24]. Previous research in Jember showed that many plantation workers are infected with hookworm and are associated with poor sanitation and frequent contact with soil [21]. Therefore, people who work in plantation areas, including vegetable plantations and hookworm infection, can be sources of hookworm pollution in the environment.…”

Food-borne diseases can be transmitted through raw vegetables contaminated with bacteria and intestinal parasites. The study aimed to determine bacteria and intestinal parasites that contaminate raw vegetables in traditional markets. In this study, we collected raw vegetables from eight traditional markets. We chose randomly at each market five samples of vegetables that usually consumed in raw, like lettuce, tomato, cabbage, basil, long bean, and cucumber. The bacteria were identified by culture and microbiological test and the intestinal parasites were identified using sedimentation and floatation methods. This study showed that all of raw vegetables were contaminated with Escherichia coli (E. coli) (91%), Staphylococcus aureus (84%), and Vibrio cholera (79%). Besides bacteria, 36% of samples were contaminated by soil-transmitted helminths (STH), and intestinal protozoa contaminated 27% of samples. Lettuce was the most contaminated vegetable with bacteria and intestinal parasites. The results of this study proved that there was bacterial contamination as well as intestinal parasites in raw vegetables sold in traditional markets which could be a source of spread of food-borne diseases. Therefore, handling raw vegetables properly is needed as an effort to prevent it.

“…Semua sampel feses yang diperiksa (7,1%) mengandung telur dan larva hookworm (Tabel 3). Hal ini sesuai dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang menemukan infeksi hookworm sebesar 21,3% pada pekerja perkebunan di lima lokasi perkebunan di Jember 24 . Petani dapat terinfeksi cacing tambang melalui beberapa cara.…”

Latar belakang: Kabupaten Jember khususnya Kecamatan Jenggawah merupakan wilayah agraris dengan pekerjaan utama sebagai petani dan hampir separuh penduduknya tidak mempunyai fasilitas jamban untuk buang air besar. Kebiasaan defekasi yang tidak sehat masih banyak dilakukan oleh masyarakat petani, sehingga bisa mencemari sumber air dengan telur dan larva cacing usus yang berakibat terjadinya penularan helminthiasis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya kontaminasi sumber air (air sumur dan sungai) oleh cacing usus, faktor risiko higiene sanitasi dan hubungannya dengan prevalensi helminthiasis pada petani di Kecamatan Jenggawah, Kabupaten Jember.Metode: Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Jenggawah yang sebagian besar masyarakatnya adalah petani. Jumlah petani yang bersedia terlibat dalam penelitian adalah 56, sehingga jumlah sampel feses dan air sumur yang diperoleh juga sebanyak 56. Sampel air sungai juga diambil untuk diperiksa. Sampel feses dan air diperiksa menggunakan metode sedimentasi dan flotasi untuk identifikasi telur dan larva cacing usus. Faktor-faktor risiko higiene dan sanitasi sebagai variabel bebas didapatkan dari kuesioner dan dianalisis dengan univariat, bivariat dan multivariat.Hasil: Karakteristik responden menunjukkan sebagian besar adalah laki-laki (53,51%), berusia 18-60 tahun (75%), berpendidikan rendah (53,57%), dan berpenghasilan rendah (71,43%). Sampel air sumur yang terkontaminasi telur dan larva cacing usus sebesar 22,2%, sedangkan sampel air sungai semuanya terkontaminasi. Prevalensi helminthiasis pada petani adalah 7,1%. Jenis cacing usus yang banyak ditemukan adalah Hookworm. Hasil uji bivariate (chi-square) menunjukkan kontaminasi sumber air oleh cacing usus berhubungan dengan prevalensi helminthiasis (ρ<0,05). Faktor risiko sanitasi yaitu jenis sumber air (air sungai atau air tanah) dan faktor risiko higiene kebiasaan mandi,cuci dan kakus (MCK) di sungai berhubungan dengan prevalensi helminthiasis (ρ<0,05).Simpulan: Sumber air yang terkontaminasi oleh telur dan larva cacing usus dan penggunaannya untuk kegiatan MCK dapat menjadi sumber transmisi infeksi helminthiasis pada masyarakat petani. ABSTRACTTitle: Contamination of Water Sources by Intestinal Worms and Sanitary Hygiene as Risk Factors for Helminths Infection in Farmers.Background: Jember Regency, especially Jenggawah Subdistrict, is an agricultural area with the main occupation as farmers and almost half of the population does not have latrine facilities for defecation. Unhealthy defecation habits are still widely practiced by farming communities, so that they can contaminate water sources with eggs and larvae of intestinal worms which result in helminthiasis transmission. This study aims to determine the contamination of water sources (well and river water) by intestinal worms, sanitation hygiene risk factors and their association with the prevalence of helminthiasis in farmers in Jenggawah District, Jember Regency.Method: This research was conducted in Jenggawah District where most of the people are farmers. The number of farmers who were willing to be involved in the study was 56, so the number of faecal and well water samples obtained was also 56. River water samples were also taken for examination. Stool and water samples were examined using sedimentation and flotation methods to identify eggs and larvae of intestinal worms. Hygiene and sanitation risk factors as independent variables were obtained from the questionnaire and analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis.Result: The characteristics of the respondents showed that most of them were male (53.51%), aged 18-60 years (75%), low educated (53.57%), and low income (71.43%). Well water samples were contaminated with eggs and larvae of intestinal worms by 22.2%, while river water samples were all contaminated. The prevalence of helminthiasis is 7.1%. The most common type of intestinal worm is Hookworm. The results of the chi-square test showed that contamination of water sources by intestinal worms was associated with the prevalence of helminthiasis (ρ<0.05). Sanitation risk factors, namely the kind of water sources (river water or ground water) and hygiene risk factors, i.e bathing, washing and latrine activities (MCK) habits in rivers are associated with the prevalence of helminthiasis (ρ<0.05).Conclusion: Water sources contaminated by eggs and larvae of intestinal worms and the habit of bathing, washing and latrine activities (MCK) in the river can be a source of transmission of helminthiasis infection in farming communities.
