- W2182575008 abstract "Schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminths (STHs) are among the list of neglected tropical diseases considered for control by the WHO and they currently infect a third of the world's population. An important feature of these parasitic infections is their focal distribution, which has significant implications for control. The present study was aimed at determining the community based prevalence and the transmission dynamics of schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminth infections in Munyenge Health Area. A cross-sectional community based parasitological survey was conducted at baseline in Munyenge in 2013 using standardized parasitological methods. Subjects' sociocultural and demographic details were recorded. The syringe filtration technique of Christensen et al., (1984) was used to analyze 514 urine samples while the formol-ether concentration technique was used to analyze 314 stool samples. Samples with visible or gross haematuria were recorded prior to filtration. The overall prevalence of schistosomiasis was 40.27% (207). The most infected age group was the 11-20 years age group which had a prevalence of 51.38%(112), while the >50 years age group was the least infected with a prevalence of 8.33%. Soil transmitted helminth infections had an overall prevalence of 33.76% with males being more infected (35%) than females (30.86%). The most prevalent STH was A. lumbricoides with (23.81%), while hookworm infection was the least prevalent (3.5%). This study has shown that, age is a major contributing factor for the spread of schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminth infections in the studied community. The study also provided baseline data on the distribution of urinary schistosomiasis and STHs that form the basis for initiating control and elimination programmes for these neglected tropical diseases in this recently established focus." @default.
