Resumen

Study was conducted to determine the prevalence of
urinary schistosomiasis among school children in three selected
primary schools around Sokoto Metropolis, Nigeria. A total of 375
samples of urine examined for the eggs of Schistosoma
haematobium and S. mansoni using standard filtration technique.
The prevalence and parasite load of S. haematobium were 60.80%
and 43.85/10 mL of urine. The prevalence varied among schools,
age of children, gender and water contact. The highest prevalence of
75.20% was recorded in Basansan Model Primary School. Age
group 9-12 years had the highest (71.42%) prevalence of infection.
Males with the prevalence of 79.57% were more infected than
females with prevalence of 29.28%. Based on occupation and water
contact activities, the result showed that children of farmers had the
highest prevalence of 71.50% and 84.87%, children whose source of
drinking water is from Dam, had the highest prevalence of 75.24%.
The study area is endemic for urinary schistosomiasis with high
significant variation (P < 0.01) between the prevalence of the
infections in almost all the primary schools. Health Education
Campaign, treatment of infected individuals, provision of safe water
for domestic uses and control of snails’ vector should be
encouraged.
