Abstract

Incidence of ascariasis is very high in pigs in tropical and sub-tropical regions. The low level of maintenance of pigs and the poor sanitation of cages can be a factor that increases parasitic infection in pigs and does not rule out the possibility of infecting humans. Another factor that affects helminthiasis is the environment and behavior personal hygiene of a person, such as the habit of not washing hands before eating, after going to the toilet, the habit of contact with the soil and long fingernails. This study aims to determine the relationship between the incidence of ascariasis in pigs and the contamination of nails of pig farmers in Segaran Village, Wates District, Kediri Regency. The method used is centrifugation precipitation. The design of this study uses adesign cross sectional survey to study the correlation dynamics between risk factors and effects, data collection at once. The number of samples obtained is 40 pig samples with simple random sampling technique and 20 pig breeder nails with total sampling technique. Positive results in samples of pig stool containing eggs Ascaris suum as much as 9 (22%) and negative as much as 31 (78%), while in the nail samples of farmers were 0 (0%). The conclusion of this study is that there is no correlation between the incidence of ascariasis in pigs and the contamination of nails of pig farmers in Segaran Village, Wates District, Kediri Regency.
