ABSTRACT: This study, Identification and Prevalence of Gastro-Intestinal Parasites among children ages four (4) to six (6) in Two (2) Day-care centers inside the New Bilibid Prison (N.B.P.) Compound, Poblacion, Muntinlupa City, aimed to help those studying in two day care centers in assessing if they were infected of intestinal parasites and to inform their parents about this problem. At the community level, this study aimed to inform the school about the prevalence of such parasites. Also, the researcher hopes to heighten awareness on these neglected parasitic infections that will alleviate human suffering due to these diseases. Collection started in the month of October 2005 and lasted until the latter part of December. Three (3) diagnostic procedures namely: Kato-Thick Modified Smear Method and Harada-Mori Nematode Culture Method for fresh fecal samples and Formalin-Ether Concentration Technique for preserved fecal samples. The two (2) species of gastro-intestinal parasites found in this study are Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura. These parasites were the most common gastro-intestinal parasites that infect school-age children. Out of one hundred fifty (150) total population from both schools namely N.B.P. Day Care center, only thirty-two (32) and thirty-three (33) samples were collected from both schools respectively. From these, nineteen (19) samples were found to be infected with parasites, having 29.23% of the volunteers are found out to be infected by both parasites 21.53% children were infected with Ascaris and 10.76% are infected with Trichuris trichiura. Unfortunately, no protozoan was observed.
