Abstract


Helminthiasis is a neglected tropical disease, also known as a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD). According to WHO data from 2022, 1.5 billion people worldwide (24%) are infected with soil-borne helminths. The purpose of this study was to identify helminth eggs in fecal samples from vegetable farmers in Cepogo, Boyolali. Most of the local residents were farmers, and because their daily activities were closely related to the soil, farmers were at high risk of helminth egg infection. This descriptive study involved 21 vegetable farmers selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews and laboratory tests to identify helminth eggs, using the folation method to separate the helminth eggs from the feces. Interview results showed that most farmers (38.1%) had worked for 21-30 years. 19.0% used complete personal protective equipment (shoes and gloves), 90.5% of farmers had good personal hygiene, and all farmers used mixed fertilizers. Meanwhile, no Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) eggs were found in all farmers. It was further concluded that vegetable farmers in Cepogo, Boyolali, have good personal hygiene and self-protection practices and are free of worm eggs.
