Identifikasi Protozoa Usus Dan Soil Transmitted Helminth Pada Lalat Di Pasar Tradisional Air Tiris Kecamatan Kampar
Traditional markets are areas with high trading activities that generate organic waste, making them potential breeding grounds for flies. Flies can act as mechanical vectors for intestinal parasites, including pathogenic protozoa and Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH), due to their habit of landing on organic materials, waste, and surfaces contaminated with feces. This condition can increase the risk of gastrointestinal disease transmission. Air Tiris Traditional Market has high trading activity but is also equipped with sanitation facilities, such as toilets that are regularly used, which may reduce flies’ exposure to contamination sources. This study aimed to identify the presence of intestinal protozoa and STH in flies in the market’s stalls. This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 50 flies were collected from five market stall areas (fish, meat, chicken, vegetables, ready-to-eat foods) using accidental sampling. Samples were examined at the Parasitology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Riau, using a 0.9% NaCl sedimentation technique and microscopic observation to detect intestinal protozoan cysts and STH eggs. The results showed that the captured fly species were Musca domestica and Chrysomya megacephala, and all samples tested negative for intestinal protozoa and STH (0%). The absence of parasites in these samples is suspected to be influenced by the market’s adequate sanitation, particularly the availability of toilets and general cleanliness.
