Summary: Abstract: A survey on the incidence of intestinal parasitism was conducted among 36 food handlers of the 17 food establishments inside FEU Campus. Fourteen (14) males and twenty-two (22) females submitted stool samples for three times. Fecal samples were examined through direct fecal smear in the detection of intestinal parasites. Twenty-two percent (8 out of 36 food handlers) were found positive of intestinal parasites and seventy eight (78%) were negative. The most commonly found intestinal parasites were Ascaris lumbricoides (50%), Trichuris trichiura (28,57%), Entamoeba coli (14.29%) and Entamoeba histolytica (7.14%).
