Schistosomiasis and Intestinal Helminthiases in a Remote Area of Central Madagascar
The prevalence rates of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases, highlighting <i>S. mansoni</i>, and its coexistence with undernutrition in the same population, are alarming. These findings underscore the urgent need to intensify current control strategies, which include deworming, provision of clean water, implementation of sewage systems and education on sanitation and hygiene.
