Worm infections or can be called by worming included into an infection caused by a parasite. Soil Transmitted Helminths Intestinal Nematodes are worms groups are in their life cycle to reach the infective stage requires soil with certain conditions. Eosin 2% is the dye that is used in the examination of Intestinal Nematode worm eggs. Red fruit (Pandanus sp.) which is a natural plant material and acidic contain carotenoids which produces orange-red pigment. Beta carotene is the predominant pigment of red-orange color that is found naturally in plants and fruits. The aim of this research is to determine the best concentration from variation of red fruit (Pandanus sp.) juice that optimally to color the eggs of the worm. Research conducted experiments with various concentration ratio of red fruit (Pandanus sp.) juice and distilled water (1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5). From this research it found that the results indicate the ratio of concentrations of red fruit (Pandanus sp.) juice and distilled water (1:2) can be used as an alternative reagent eosin 2% for their examination of worm eggs. But in the visual field that uses red fruit (Pandanus sp.) juice and distilled water (1:2) still looks much dirt as a nuisance and does not give a contrasting background. It can conclude that red fruit (Pandanus sp.) juice can use to color the eggs of the worm.

The purpose of pattern recognition is do the process of classifying an object into one particular class based on the pattern it has, so it can be used to recognize patterns of intestinal nematode worm types. One of the methods used in pattern recognition is by utilizing the artificial neural network method, the artificial neural network is able to represent a complex Input-Output relationship. For that the algorithm used is the perceptron algorithm. Perceptron is one method of Artificial Neural Networks. In the introduction of types of intestinal nematode worms, a computer must be trained in advance using training data and test data, this study discusses how a computer can recognize a pattern of types of intestinal nematode worms using the perceptron method. Based on the results of testing trials with input in the form of worm image scan results, based on the results of the perceptron method testing is able to recognize the pattern recognition of the types of intestinal nematode worms and be able to analyze with the right results of 100% for pinworms patterns, hookworm patterns, and 40- 50% for roundworms, by comparing the output value and the target value entered first.

Background: Humans are intestinal nematode hosts whose transmission occurs through soil or soil transmited helminthes, as a place of life and development of worm eggs and larvae before they are transmitted to the human body, especially in children who are used to playing or direct contact with the soil, allowing the nails of Nematode eggs to be exposed the intestine.Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the presence of intestinal nematode worm eggs on Ranomeeto 11 elementary school students. Methode: The type of research used is descriptive research, which was conducted on 28 June - 2 July 2016. The sample in this study was taken by Simple Random Sampling. The data taken in the form of primary and secondary data with the research instrument is a checklist and examination results. Data analysis techniques and data presentation are descriptive and presented in the form of frequency distribution tables and narrated.Result: The results of research conducted on 37 nail samples of Ranomeeto 11 Elementary School students showed that there were 5 positive samples containing intestinal Nematode eggs which were 4 positive Ascaris lumbricoides (10.82%) and 1 positive Trichuris trichiura (2.70%) and 32 (86 , 48%) negative samples do not contain intestinal nematodes.Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there are 5 positive samples of intestinal Nematode worm eggs 13.51% and 32 negative samples 86.48% do not contain intestinal nematode worm eggs.

        ABSTRACT   Communities on Lae-Lae Island, Makassar City have sanitation facilities that are still poor and very limited with quality far from health standards. This causes people who live in these islands to face various health problems, one of which is the risk of being infected with eggs of intestinal nematode worms Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH). This study aims to identify the eggs of the intestinal nematode worm Soil Transmitted Helminthes in the feces of people on Lae-Lae Island, Makassar City. This type of research is a laboratory observation with a purposive sampling technique of 10 stool samples. Based on the results of research that has been carried out on 10 faecal samples, it was found 1 positive stool sample for Trichuris trichura worm eggs with distinctive egg-shaped characteristics such as the shape of crock worm eggs or wine barrels and at both ends there are two mucoid plugs. The egg wall is brown from the color of the bile at both ends, it is clear, while the other 9 stool samples are negative the type of worm Trichuris trichura and 9 other samples were negative.

Microscopic examination is essential to find the type of worm that causes infection. Direct examination of worm eggs needs to use staining to distinguish between worm eggs and food residues that are not completely digested. The dyes commonly used are synthetic. The purpose of this study was to replace synthetic dyes with natural dyes with Andong (Cordyline Fruticosa) leaf juice. It can be used as an alternative or a substitute for dyes. This research method is descriptive, conducted at the Parasitology Laboratory of Poltekkes Kemenkes Pontianak. The population in this study was the juice of the leaves of Andong (Cordyline Fruticosa). The method of inspection is direct preparation with an object glass as is routinely done, but the dye is replaced with Andong leaf juice (Cordyline Fruticosa). The results showed that natural dye Andong leaf juice (Cordyline Fruticosa), gave a clear color to the absorption of intestinal nematode worm eggs as the test target. This study concludes that the juice of the leaves of Andong (Cordyline Fruticosa) with alcohol solvent can be used as an alternative dye for the examination of intestinal nematode worm eggs.

Nematode Worm

Helminthiasis is a worm infestation caused by several different species of intestinal parasitic worms. This group of worms belongs to the category of Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) because the process of developing eggs or larvae of these species requires soil to develop into an infective form. The simplest method of examining intestinal nematode worm eggs is the Native Method using 2% Eosin reagent in observing various elements of the examination on the preparations/preparations. Eosin itself has properties that are not easily biodegradable, and generates hazardous waste (toxic) and flammable so that alternative coloring is needed that is more environmentally friendly. Purple sweet potato has a high content of anthocyanin pigments and is more stable than the pigments of strawberries, red cabbage, perilla and other plants. Thus, purple sweet potato has been considered a good source of anthocyanins. This study aims to determine the use of anthocyanin extract from purple sweet potato as a natural dye substitute for eosin dye in the identification of STH in the native method. Parameters observed in the preparations were the quality of visual field contrast, color absorption on the surface of the parasite, and the level of clarity of the appearance of the parasite. The results showed that the use of anthocyanin extract from purple sweet potato at a concentration of 80% could color the eggs of STH worms which were found in positive samples of Ascaris lumbricoides seen in fertile (fertilized eggs) and infertile (unfertilized eggs). Therefore, the anthocyanin extract obtained from purple sweet potato has potential as an alternative dye to replace eosin.
