The study revealed a moderate prevalence of S. mansoni infection among study participants. This highlights fishermen as an untreated reservoir sustaining transmission, underscoring the need to include this group in control programs to protect this high-risk group and accelerate progress towards schistosomiasis-elimination goals.
