Closeended questionnaires on safety of ALB administered to SAC, 24 hours after ingestion. Stool samples were
collected at 3-weeks post treatment to re-examine for Egg Reduction Rate (ERR) and Cure Rate (CR). The results were analyzed using SPSS version 20 with Chi-square set at p = 0.05 to compare relationship between demography factors and prevalence.
