Abstract

Schistosoma-related morbidity is common in the study area, impacting individuals of all ages and calling for regular mass drug administration, considering the adult population, improved WASH infrastructure, and health education to encourage behavioural change. Additionally, mixed infections have a positive effect on bladder morbidity, with possible implications for disease control.
