- ABSTRAK Soil-transmitted helminthic infection in Indonesia is still a major public-health problem. Particularly in children, heavy infections with soil-transmitted hehninths may inhibit their growth. The intensity of soil-transmitted helminthic infection seems to be related to defecation habits, environmental sanitation and personal hygiene. The objective of this study was to know the relationShip between soil-transmitted helminthic infection and age, level of education and occupation. A total of 342 persons (40% of the population in Bangunjiwo) were selected randomly, and examined for their age, level of education and type of occupation by using a questionair. Fecal samples were examined quantitativelyby using the Kato thick smear method, and to identify hookworm species a modified Harada Mani culture method was used.
