IDENTIFIKASI NEMATODA USUS PADA LALAT DI AREA TEMPAT PENGOLAHAN SAMPAH 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle) KARTINI PALEMBANG
Garbage is a means and source of disease transmission whose existence can affect health. The role of flies in the transmission of pathogens is related to breeding and food in carcasses, animal and human feces, and decaying organic matter. Based on the explanations and understandings outlined above, flies are mechanical vectors that can transmit various diseases with the pathogens they carry. His life that is always around humans makes flies one of the threats to human health. This study aims to find out more about intestinal nematodes found in flies obtained at the Kartini’s 3R Management Site Area Palembang. This was a descriptiveobservasional study with a cross sectional design. The samples used in the study were obtained by accidental sampling technique. Sample processing was done using sedimentation methods and microscopic observations. There were 61 samples consisting of 30 Musca domestica, 20 Chrysomya megacephala, and 11 Lucillia sp. From 61 samples, 23 (37.7%) tested positive for intestinal nematodes. Among them consisted of Musca domestica 6.56% sample, Chrysomya megacephala 21.31% sample, and Lucilia sp. 9.83% sample. A total of 39 eggs were found in the flies sample, consisting of 34 eggs Ascaris lumbricoides (6 eggs were found in Musca domestica, 22 eggs were found in Chrysomya megacephala, and 6 eggs were found in Lucilia sp.) and 5 Trichuris trichura eggs (2 eggs found in Chrysomya megacephala and 3 eggs found in Lucilia sp.). Flies have a role as carriers of pathogens that can be a public health problem. Awareness is needed in maintaining sanitation and hygiene in all aspects. This research advice should be TPS 3R officers to carry out fly control regularly and for the community to increase awareness in maintaining sanitation and hygiene in all aspects.
