“…Furthermore, the prevalence of all STH coinfections on the same farm had a prevalence of 0.84%, which was higher than what was observed in a previous study involving a lowland pig farm in Bali, which found an 18% prevalence of Ascaris spp. [ 66 ]. Meanwhile, the prevalence of hookworm was consistent with another study [ 67 ], where the prevalence was found to be 71% in lowland pig farms and 60% in Bali Province [ 37 ].…”

Background and Aim: Pigs are the main livestock commodity in Bali Province, Indonesia, where traditional farming practices are widely used. Traditional pig farmers are often closely associated with poverty and a perceived lack of knowledge regarding health and hygiene. Data on soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) and risk factors associated with STH worm infection among traditional pig farmers in Bali were previously unavailable. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and risk factors for STH infections among traditional pig farmers in Bali Province, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: This study involved the fecal examination of 238 traditional pig farmers from all areas of Bali Province in Indonesia. In addition, several pig feces samples were combined into one pooled sample belonging to each farm. All fresh fecal samples were stored in a 5% formaldehyde solution before being analyzed using concentration flotation techniques. Subsequently, risk factors were determined through an interview and a questionnaire. The odds ratio (OR) and Chi-square tests were used to determine the risk factors associated with STH infections. Results: The result showed that there was a high prevalence of STH infections among traditional pig farmers and pig farms in Bali, with rates of 21.8% and 76.5%, respectively. This could be due to risk factors, such as personal hygiene (OR: 5.756; confidence interval [CI]: 2.96-11.193; p=0.00), sanitation (OR: 1.914; CI: 1.024-3.576; p=0.042), education level (OR: 7.579; CI: 2.621-21.915; p=0.00), household income (OR: 2.447; CI: 1.122-5.338; p=0.025), and occupation (OR: 2.95; CI: 1.356-6.415; p=0.006). Conclusion: The infections seen in farmers were distributed among hookworm, Ascaris spp., and Trichuris spp., at 15.1%, 9.2%, and 4.2%, respectively. The risk factors associated with infections of STH and Ascaris spp. were personal hygiene, home sanitation, education level, household income, and having a primary occupation as a traditional pig farmer. In contrast, personal hygiene, education level, and primary occupation were the only risk factors for hookworm infection, while personal hygiene and home sanitation were the risk factors associated with Trichuris spp. infection. The limitation of this study was that the number of samples was relatively small due to the difficulty of obtaining stool samples from traditional pig farmers, with many individuals refusing to provide their stool for inspection. We suggest that future research focus on identifying the species of worms that infect traditional pig farmers and to better identify the zoonotic link of STH transmission from pigs to humans.

The aim of this study was to determine concentration, soaking time, interaction between concentration and soaking time of methanol extract of kepok banana unriped fruit to cause death toward Ascaris suum in vitro. Research design that has been used in the research was completely randomized design. This research used 300 samples of Ascaris suum with length 10-20 cm without differentiating their sex. Concentration of methanol extract of kepok banana unriped fruit were 10%, 20% and 40%. Physiological NaCl, CMC-Na and Piperazine citrate 10 mg/ml were being used as control. Each treatment then being replicated five times. The observation and recording of dead worm were done at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours. Ascaris suum were declared dead if there was no movement while disturbed by anatomy tweezers and dipped in slightly warm water (50 ºC). The obtained data was analyzed using ANOVA Factorial and continued with Duncan Multiple Range Test by SPSS 26 for Windows. The result was 40% concentration and exposure time for 10 hours caused the most mortality toward Ascaris suum. Interaction between concentration and exposure time resulted 40% concentration methanol extract of unriped kepok banana fruit in 10 hours caused the most mortality towards Ascaris suum.

This study aimed to identify gastrointestinal parasites in pigs in Bali. A total of 117 pig feces samples were collected in Buleleng Regency (n = 67) and Jembrana (n = 50). Samples were examined microscopically using native, sedimentation, and floating methods. The results reported the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites infecting pigs in Bali was 94.8% (111/117) infected with protozoa, namely Eimeria sp. (90.5%), Entamoeba sp. (26.4%), Isospora suis (6.8%), and Balantidium sp. (5.1%), while 99.1% (116/117) were infected with helminths, namely Trichuris suis (71.7%), Strongyloides sp. (64.9%), Ascaris suum (49.5%), Oesophagostomum sp. (6.1%), Macracanthorhyncus sp. (2.5%), and Hyostrongylus sp. (0.8%). Based on the tree regression analysis reported that the rearing system was related to the degree of gastrointestinal parasite infection in pigs in Bali.
