Mapping survey of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases towards mass drug administration in The Gambia

ConclusionsWe identified that 24/42(57%) districts mapped in The Gambia are endemic for schistosomiasis expressing the need for preventive chemotherapy. Twenty (47%) of the districts mapped are endemic for STH. However, only two STH endemic districts namely Banjul (55%) and Kombo South (22%) were within rates eligible for mass drug administration.
