Title

PREVALENCE OF SCHISTOSOMA INTERCALATUM AND S. HAEMATOBIUM INFECTION AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOLCHILDREN IN CAPITAL AREAS OF DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE, WEST AFRICA

Pages

Abstract

 Background: A parasitological survey of Schistosoma haematobium and S. intercalatum infection among primary SCHOOLCHILDREN in capital area of Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Príncipe (DRSTP) was undertaken.Methods: Subjects with positive infection were confirmed by the detection of S. haematobium ova in the urine orS. intercalatum ova in the stool by using centrifugation concentration or merthiolate-iodineformalin concentration method. Totally, 252 urine and stool samples, respectively, were obtained from apparently healthy SCHOOLCHILDREN, of which 121 from boys (9.8±1.4 yr) and 131 from girls (9.7±1.3 yr).Results: None of participating SCHOOLCHILDREN were found having S. haematobium ova in the urinary specimen. While, among 4 primary schools studied, only SCHOOLCHILDREN from Saint Marçal were detected withS. intercalatum ova in the fecal specimen, making the overall prevalence of S. intercalatum infection among SCHOOLCHILDREN was 2.4% (6/252) and girls had insignificantly higher prevalence (3.1%, 4/131) than that (1.7%, 2/121) in boys (X2=0.5, P=0.5).Conclusion: Water control and sanitation as well as snails eliminated by molluscicides are urgently needed to reduce S. intercalatum infection in DRSTP inhabitants.
