Two foci of schistosomiasis are known to be active in Algeria, first in the north of the country, at wadi El Hamiz in relation with the dam of El Hamiz river in the commune of Khemis el Kechna; and the other in the south, in the Tassili N'Ajjer region (Djanet, Ihérir, Tamadjert). In relation with a preparatory phase of a control programme of the disease a sero-epidemiological study was performed in the focus of Khemis el Kechna in 1987-1988; 1,876 parasitological samples and 1,760 serological samples were collected. The parasitological prevalence was 4.90%, the serological prevalence was 15.6% with a wider distribution by age.
已知阿尔及利亚有两个血吸虫病疫源地较为活跃，一个在该国北部，位于凯米斯-凯什纳市的瓦迪-埃尔哈米兹，与埃尔哈米兹河大坝有关；另一个在南部，位于塔西里-纳杰尔地区（贾奈特、伊赫里尔、塔马杰尔特）。在一项疾病控制计划的筹备阶段，1987 - 1988年在凯米斯-凯什纳疫源地开展了血清流行病学研究；采集了1876份寄生虫学样本和1760份血清学样本。寄生虫学患病率为4.90%，血清学患病率为15.6%，且按年龄分布更为广泛。
