Schistosomiasis remains a major health problem at global and national levels, contributing to the vulnerability of the poor people in Sudan. Southern Kordofan is affected by Schistosomiasis but the disease prevalence was unknown.
1826 adults were recruited in a community-based survey. Each recruited subject submitted at least 10 ml urine and one stool sample; they were also interviewed and filled in a questionnaire.
1826 adults were recruited in a community-based survey. Each recruited subject submitted at least 10 ml urine and one stool sample; they were also interviewed and filled in a questionnaire. The prevalence of S. haematobium was 6.9 % among the adult population. We estimated S. mansoni prevalence as 0.0 %. S. haematobium infection was focally distributed at the village level. The infection was associated with non preference of latrine use - if available, use of open water source for household affairs such as cleaning and also with the history of schistosomiasis treatment. The prevalence of soil transmitted helminths (STH) was also reported as high at 7.8 %, and two species were identified; Hymenolepis nana and Giardia lamblia.
Schistosomiasis is a significant health problem among the adult population in Southern Kordofan. The estimated prevalence will serve as a guide in developing a Schistosomiasis Control Program and applying treatment plans.
在全球和国家层面上，血吸虫病仍然是一个主要的健康问题，导致苏丹贫困人口的脆弱性。南科尔多凡受到血吸虫病的影响，但该病的流行情况尚不清楚。
在一项基于社区的调查中招募了 1826 名成年人。每个被招募的对象至少提交了 10 毫升尿液和一份粪便样本；他们还接受了访谈并填写了问卷。
在一项基于社区的调查中招募了 1826 名成年人。每个被招募的对象至少提交了 10 毫升尿液和一份粪便样本；他们还接受了访谈并填写了问卷。成年人人群中埃及血吸虫的流行率为 6.9%。我们估计曼氏血吸虫的流行率为 0.0%。埃及血吸虫感染呈点状分布在村庄一级。感染与非偏好使用厕所 - 如果有，使用开放水源进行家庭事务，如清洁，也与血吸虫病治疗史有关。土壤传播性蠕虫（STH）的流行率也很高，为 7.8%，并确定了两种物种；细粒棘球绦虫和蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫。
血吸虫病是南科尔多凡成年人的一个重大健康问题。估计的流行率将作为制定血吸虫病控制计划和实施治疗计划的指南。
