Intervention and Control Measures of Soil -Transmitted Helminths from Some Salad Vegetables by Washing Myint Myint Kyi, Dr The study conducted from July to December 2018, to determine the effectiveness of thorough washing of raw vegetables to eliminate helminth contamination, included of three different kinds of salad vegetables (15 samples of each vegetable kind), namely Coriandrum sativum, Mentha arvensis and Allium cepa obtained from Meiktila Market, and these vegetables were washed in tap water, purified water and common salt solution for five times and examined the parasite each time. Although helminth eggs and larvae were still detected in the samples washed for the first, second and third times, eggs and larvae were not totally observed at fourth and fifth times. It is observed that interventions were essential to prevent contamination of raw vegetables prior to consumption. It is suggested that thorough washing at least (4 to 5 times) before consumption of raw vegetables need to be practiced as a measure to curb transmission of helminths. 2020-08-31 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000007816 https://meral.edu.mm/records/7816
