The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of Schistosoma mansoni and its associated risk factors in the study area.
Of 422 school children, 223 (52.8%) and 199 (47.2%) were males and females, respectively. The Overall prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni infection was 24.9% (105/422). Seventy-five out of 422 (71.4%) of the infected individuals showed light infections. The overall mean intensity of Schistosoma mansoni in the study was 106.16 eggs per gram of stool. Age (p = 0.013), swimming habit (p = 0.001), participating in irrigational activities (p = 0.03) and washing clothes in the river (p = 0.039) were factors associated with Schistosoma mansoni infection.
本研究旨在确定研究区域内曼氏血吸虫病的流行程度及其相关危险因素。
422名学童中,男性223名(52.8%),女性199名(47.2%)。曼氏血吸虫感染的总体患病率为24.9%(105/422)。422名感染者中有75名(71.4%)为轻度感染。研究中曼氏血吸虫的总体平均感染强度为每克粪便106.16个虫卵。年龄(p = 0.013)、游泳习惯(p = 0.001)、参与灌溉活动(p = 0.03)以及在河中洗衣服(p = 0.039)是与曼氏血吸虫感染相关的因素。
