Characteristics of persistent hotspots of <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> in western Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
infected children, was 123.8 EPG in PHS and 18.7 EPG in the other two schools. Children bathing in open freshwater bodies were at higher odds of S. mansoni infection (odds ratio: 4.5, 95% confidence interval: [...] forskalii, Bu. globosus and Bu. truncatus). CONCLUSION: Children in PHS schools bathed more frequently in open freshwater bodies, and hence, they are more exposed to Schistosoma transmission. Our findings call
