ABSTRACT
Urban recreational lake acts as a source of waterborne parasites contamination, as reported in 2013 in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. This scenario will lead to the transmission of waterborne diseases due to exposure of water-related activities by humans. This study was conducted to reveal the occurrence of common waterborne parasites in a urban lake (i.e. Titiwangsa Lake). The lake is situated in the city of Kuala Lumpur and is known to be overcrowded with vast activities participated by both local and tourist. Results of study showed the presence of Cryptosporidium, Giardia, free-living amoeba, and helminthlike ova from the lake.
