Introduction.
Parasitic diseases are the major causes of human health problem in Ethiopia.
The high prevalence of parasitic infections is closely correlated with poverty, poor environmental hygiene, and impoverished health services.
Objective.
The study was conducted to assess the impact of health-conscious Awramba cooperative community and its neighboring communities on the prevalence of parasitic infections in South Gondar, Ethiopia.
Methods.
Single stool specimens were collected from 392 individuals from Awramba and the neighboring communities.
Specimens were examined microscopically for the presence of parasites using microscopy.
Questionnaire was administered to determine the knowledge attitude and practice (KAP) of study participants.
Results.
Of the total 392 study participants examined, 58(14.8%) were positive for malaria and 173 (44.1%) for intestinal parasites.
The prevalence of malaria in Awramba community (5.1%) was less than that in neighboring communities (24.5%).
The prevalence of parasitic infections in Awramba (18.8%) was less than that of the neighboring communities (69.4%).
Conclusion.
This study showed that good household and environmental hygiene, good toilet construction and usage, and proper utilization of ITN in Awramba cooperative community have significantly contributed to the reduction of the burden of parasitic infections.
Thus, the positive achievement in reducing parasitic infections in Awramba cooperative community could be used as a model for affordable health intervention in the neighboring communities, in particular, and the whole country in general.
