Prevalence of Intestinal Schistosomiasis and Associated Factors among School Children in Wondo District, Ethiopia.

Conclusion: The prevalence of S. mansoni was moderate as per the World Health Organization standard, since it was in the range of 10%-50%. This implies that schistosomiasis is still among major health problems. Thus, intensified effort is needed to address risk factors contributing to infection and control disease. Additionally, biannual mass drug administration with praziquantel is required according to the WHO standard. PMID: 32280352 [PubMed]
