kecamatan Babirik Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Utara, Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan dengan prevalensi antara 1,2-7,8%.
Sampai saat ini, angka prevalensi kejadian Fasciolopsiasis tidak menunjukkan kecenderungan turun,sebaliknya justru
menunjukkan adanya penyebaran penyakit ke wilayah lainnya. Diduga Fasciolopsis buski ini menyebar melalui sanitasi
lingkungan dan higine perorangan yang buruk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara sanitasi dasar
rumah dan kejadian Fasciolopsis pada anak sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Utara, selama Januari hingga Juli
tahun 2010. Jenis penelitian adalah observasional analitik, dilaksanakan secara crossectional terhadap anak sekolah dasar

interview. Data analysis used multiple logistic regression. The result show that the prevalence ratio of Fasciolopsiasis
incidence was 4.0% and there was relationship between incidence Fasciolopsiasis with house basic sanitation
OR=97.745, drink un-boiled water, OR=2.0, consume uncooked water plants OR=39.869, Play on swamp OR=0.015,
