Abstract

Background: Human Schistosomiasis caused by mansoni is among the chronic neglected tropical parasitic disease. Water bodies harboring intermediate host and infested with infective Cercaria is risk factor for getting infection and contact with it for different domestic purposes. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine mansoni infections prevalence and associated determinant factors among School Children in Manna District, Southwest, Ethiopia. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among the school children aged between 6-19 years from March to May 2015. For diagnosis of mansoni, stool sample was obtained from each child and processed using Kato Katz and examined using light microscope. A questionnaire was used to collect Socio-demographic information of the school children participated and risk factors for mansoni infections in the study area. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Results: The prevalence of mansoni was found to be 27.6%, which was 28.6% and 26.7% among male and female, respectively. Majority of infection intensity was low with maximum 1968EPG. Bathing in river/ponds (AOR=0.088, 95% CI, 0.002-0.099, P=0.039), washing clothes in open water sources (AOR=0.075, 95% CI, 0.006-0.101, P=0.002) and crossing rivers on bare foots (AOR=0.058, 95% CI, 0.05-0.087, P=0.002) were independent predictors for mansoni infection (P-value 10% and <50% according to WHO threshold); hence a biannual MDA with PZQ is required and bathing in open water sources, washing clothes in rivers/ponds and crossing river on bare foot were independent predictors of S.mansoni infections.
埃塞俄比亚西南部奥罗米亚州吉马区马纳区学龄儿童曼氏血吸虫感染流行及相关决定因素
背景:人血吸虫病是一种被忽视的慢性热带寄生虫病。存在中间宿主并感染传染性尾蚴的水体是因不同生活目的而感染和接触尾蚴的危险因素。目的:本研究的目的是确定曼索尼感染流行率和相关的决定因素在甘纳区,西南,埃塞俄比亚的学校儿童。方法:对2015年3 - 5月6-19岁学龄儿童进行横断面调查。为了诊断mansoni,从每个孩子身上采集粪便样本,用Kato Katz处理,并用光学显微镜检查。采用问卷调查法收集研究区参与调查的学龄儿童的社会人口学信息和感染曼索尼的危险因素。数据分析采用SPSS 20.0版本。结果:mansoni的患病率为27.6%,其中男性为28.6%,女性为26.7%。大多数感染强度低,最高为1968EPG。在河流/池塘中洗澡(AOR=0.088, 95% CI, 0.002 ~ 0.099, P=0.039)、在开放水源中洗衣服(AOR=0.075, 95% CI, 0.006 ~ 0.101, P=0.002)和赤脚过河(AOR=0.058, 95% CI, 0.05 ~ 0.087, P=0.002)是mansoni感染的独立预测因子(根据WHO阈值,P值为10%和<50%);因此,需要一年两次的PZQ MDA,并且在开放水源中洗澡,在河流/池塘中洗衣服和赤脚过河是曼氏S.mansoni感染的独立预测因子。
