Background: Soil-transmitted helminthes infections (STHs) are among the most widely recognized infections among pupils in developing countries. This study investigated soil-transmitted helminthic infections among primary school children and the distribution of helminthes eggs in soil samples from selected primary schools in Ukum Local Government Area, Benue State. Methodology: Soil and faecal samples were collected from the school environment and pupils respectively. The soil samples were analyzed using floatation technique while Kato-Katz technique was used to examine the faecal samples. Results: The total prevalence was 85.6% (154 pupils out of 180 that were examined were infected), Taenia species and Ascaris lumbricoides had the highest prevalence than hookworm and Trichuris trichiura 32%, 29%, 18%b and 11% respectively. The prevalence of STH were highest in L.G. A. Primary school and God’s Heritage Nursery and Primary School (17.6% and 16% respectively). However, the results did not differ statistically (P>0.05). Fifty seven percent (57%) of the helminthes eggs recovered from soil samples were that of Ascaria lumbricoides while Taena spp and Hookworm were 35% and 8% respectively.most of thehelminthes eggs recovered from soil samples are from the samples collected around the toilet areas. This in an indication that open defication is practiced by the pupils. Conclusion: Open defecation should be discouraged and there should be a routine deworming exercise for the pupils in the study. The toilet facility in the schools are pit toilets, efforts should be made to provide the schools with water closets.
