Abstract
Background: This a cross- sectional study was carried out in White Nile State, Sudan durin May to September 2017 to determine the prevalence of schistosomiasis and intestinal helminthes infections. Methods: Urine and stool samples were collected from all participant. Urine samples were examined for ova of Schistosoma haematobium (S. haematobium) using a sedimentation technique, whereas the stool samples were tested by using the Kato-katz technique for Schistosoma mansoni (S. mansoni) and other intestinal helminthes. Results: Out of 347 urine samples and 336 stool samples examined, the prevalence of S. haematobium was 10% (35) and no positive cases were detected for S.mansoni. For the other intestinal helminthes, the overall prevalence was 12.2% (41), the species detected were Hymenolepis nana 11.3% (38) and Taenia species 0.9% (3). Among the different schools, the prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis and intestinal helminthes in Alliya was 14.8% (17) and 16.8 %, respectively. in . In Gooz al salaam, the prevalence was 7.9% for S. haematobium and 18.5% for intestinal helminthes. Moreover, the S. haematobium prevalence was 7.6%(8) in Hagar Assalya, but no positive cases were detected for intestinal helminthes. Regarding the gender, S. haematobium infection was higher in males (6.3%) than in females 3.7%, but the females has higher intestinal helminthes 8.9%. The age group (10-13) has higher prevalence for urinary schistosomiasis and intestinal helminthes, 7.2% (25) and 9.5 % (32), Respectively. Conclusion: The mothers education and source of drinking water were show significance regarding urinary schistomiasis and intestinal helminthic infections, meanwhile, the fathers education was not significantly correlated.
