Samples were collected by container from both sexes male and female have the symptom of the infected protozoan parasite, and examined by microscopy with a wet smear method, use a light microscope to detect these protozoan parasites morphologically . We recorded the highest percentage of protozoan parasite infection Entamoeba histolytica (84%) and the lowest percentage of parasite infection Giardia lamblia (16%). The result of laboratory tests showed that males were infected with a higher rate (54%) and the lowest percentage of females (46%). Due to the importance of the intestinal protozoa parasites in the community, this study was encouraging due to the high infection rate.
