Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: This study was conducted during the months of October to November, 2005 to discern the incidence of the parasites found in fruits and vegetables in the market. The samples were obtained from two separate markets in Manila. The Kundiman market is located within the vicinity of G. Tuazon compared to Zamora market that is located within the area of Pandacan, Manila. Five representative fruits and vegetables were collected in different variety, each of with 4 samples brought randomly. The method of this study was derived from how people wash their vegetables and fruits. Three hundred fifty (350) ml of NSS (0.9% of NaCI) was prepared and placed in mouthed glass container. Each sample in each container was washed (6) six times. Each type of fruit and its washing collected in a single container. The veggies and fruits were set aside. The supernatant containing sediments of three hundred fifty (350) ml was pipetted leaving 10ml of sediments at the bottom of the container. The sediments collected were carefully transferred into a test tube. This sediment was set aside and allowed to stand for 6 hours undisturbed. Upon completion of the experimentation, parasites like Coccidia oocyst (unsporulated), Nematode hemiths, ciliates and free-living parasites were on the outer surface of the representative sample. The prevalence of the mentioned parasites was 2.5%, 5%, 2.5%, 2.5% and 2.%% respectively. Prior to the that, there was no significant difference on the prevalence of parasites in fruits and vegetables in the market. The result of the study for both markets is affected by the nature of the environment of Kundiman market, in which the author found contaminated fruit baskets and pile of garbage left uncollected on every stall around the whole place.
