Abstract
The research used a cross-sectional method, which was conducted on 800 primary students in Tap Son primary school and Laboratory school in TraVinh province in order to identify the prevalence of soil-transmitted nematode infections and the relationship between the infection and correlated factors. Stool samples were examined with direct smear method. The rate of intestinal parasitic infection on the primary students in TraVinh province was 4,4%. Of which, Laboratory school had the least rate of intestinal parasitic infection with 0,0%, while Tap Son primary school had the highest rate of intestinal parasitic infection with 8,8%. Hookworm was the predominant nematode (100%), followed Ascarislumbricoides (0,0%), and Trichuristrichiura (0,0%). These relationships show that Tap Son primary environment is heavily polluted with hookworm eggs and that directly behavioral exposure to soil is a risk related to hookworm infections in the community.
