dc.description.abstract	The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) ova in Alno, La Trinidad, Benguet. Sixty soil samples were collected from four collection areas: inside living quarters, pathways, playgrounds and backyards. The samples were processed and analyzed by sodium nitrate floatation method and identified based on their morphological characteristics. The prevalence of STHs in Alno was 66.67%. The prevalences of STH among the four collection areas were not statistically different. Of all the STHs identified, hookworm had the highest prevalence (56.67%) followed by Toxocara spp. (38.33%). Hymenolepis spp. (3.33%), Ascaris spp. (1.67%) and Trichuris spp. (1.67%) were also identified but at lower prevalences.	en_US
