KONTAMINASI TELUR SOIL TRANSMITTED HELMINTHS (STH) PADA VEKTOR LALAT DI TEMPAT PEMBUANGAN AKHIR (TPA)SUKAWINATAN KOTA PALEMBANG
Introduction: In Indonesia, the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infection ranges from 2.5% to 62%, primarily affecting lower socioeconomic groups with poor sanitation. STH transmission can occur through fecal-oral routes, skin penetration of larvae, and mechanical vectors. Flies are vectors of foodborne diseases, including diarrhea, typhoid, dysentery, cholera, and helminthiasis. Flies are highly attracted to landfill sites that provide food sources from household waste and animal feces, which support their breeding activities. This study aims to identify the number and species of flies and observe STH egg contamination on flies in Sukawinatan Landfill, Palembang. Methods: The research was conducted using a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional design. Fly samples were collected from the Sukawinatan Landfill in Palembang using a sweeping net. Observations were carried out microscopically at the Biooptics and Medical Chemistry Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Sriwijaya University, with sample processing using the sedimentation technique. Results: A total of 598 flies were captured, comprising 57 (9.5%) Lucilia sp., 136 (22.8%) Chrysomya megacephala, and 405 (67.7%) Musca domestica. Among 59 prepared samples, 17 (28.8%) were positive for STH eggs. The quantity and type of STH eggs found consisted of 24 T. trichiura eggs. Conclusion: STH egg contamination was found on the external body surfaces of flies in Sukawinatan Landfill, Palembang. Keywords: Flies, Trichuris trichiura, Soil Transmitted Helminths, Landfill
