Abstract
Background: Worm infection is one of the neglected diseases. Cases are still high in many areas. The type of worm that often infects and has the potential to have a clinical impact is hookworm, both Ancylostoma spp, and Necator americanus. Objective: To determine the incidence of hookworm infection in tea leaf pickers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on all tea leaf pickers at PT Medini, Kendal District. The interview technique to measure the variables of clean and healthy living behavior was supported by laboratory testing of fecal specimens to see the presence of hookworm infection. Results: A total of 4 people were positive for hookworm infection from 28 workers (14.29%). Most of the respondents' clean and healthy living behavior while working on plantations was in a bad category (96.43%). Some of the respondent's houses still have earth floors. There is no relationship between clean and healthy living behavior and the incidence of hookworm infection among tea leaf pickers. Conclusion: There is still a potential for transmission of hookworm infection among tea leaf pickers. Although there is no relationship between clean and healthy living behavior, poor status should still be a concern to be improved.
