| Abstract: | A parasitological study of intestinal schistosomiasis among public/private
primary and secondary school pupils in Jos North Local Government Area
of Plateau State, Nigeria was conducted. Out of the 280 stool samples
examined, 13(4.6%) were positive for S. mansoni parasites. Single, dual
and multiple parasitic infections were recovered. The study provided some
data on infections with intestinal parasites among the pupils/students in
Jos, Nigeria, recommending that control and treatment of these infections
is of great importance. |
