Abstract

The investigation was carried out in Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero. A total of 200 soil samples were collected to determine the presence of geohelminth parasites in the study area. Out of 200 soil samples examined, 122 (61%) were positive and 78 (39%) were negative. The distribution of geohelminths (Soil Transmitted Helminths) parasites from each sampling sites examined are: senior staff quarters with the highest 36/50 (72%) followed by male hostel with 31/50 (62%), classes are with 28/50 (22.95%) and junior staff quarters recorded the least with 27/50 (22.13%). The prevalence of Hookworm is highest with 50/122 (40.98%), followed by Strongyloides with 21/122 (17.21%), Trichuris with 32/122 (26.22%) while Toxocara has the lowest with 19/122 (15.57s%). The high prevalence of soil transmitted helminth parasite in the study area could be attributed to lack of functional toilet facilities, lack of good sanitation and practice of open field defecation leading to indiscriminate defecation in and around the campus yard. Therefore, current control measures should include: Provision of functioning toilet fascilities and public campain on simple health promoting factors.

地蚓污染凯比州立科技大学阿列罗的环境

调查是在阿列罗的Kebbi州立科技大学进行的。收集了200份土壤样品，以确定研究区地蚓寄生虫的存在。在检测的200个土壤样本中，122个(61%)呈阳性，78个(39%)呈阴性。各采样点的地虫分布情况如下:高级职员宿舍最高，占36/50(72%)，其次是男宿舍31/50(62%)，班级28/50(22.95%)，初级职员宿舍最少，占27/50(22.13%)。钩虫的感染率最高，为40.98%，其次是圆线虫，为21/122(17.21%)，滴虫为32/122(26.22%)，弓形虫最低，为19/122(15.57.5%)。研究区土壤传播寄生虫的高流行率可能是由于缺乏功能性厕所设施，缺乏良好的卫生设施以及露天排便的做法导致校园院子内和周围乱排便。因此，目前的控制措施应包括:提供功能齐全的厕所设施和简单的健康促进因素的公共宣传。
