    "description": "<p>The burden of disease associated with schistosomiasis infections is enormous, with almost<br>\n240 million people affected globally, primarily infections occurring in sub-Saharan Africa.<br>\nThe highest rates of infection are often in children between the ages of 7 and 15 years.<br>\nHowever, there is no available documented information on the prevalence of schistosomiasis<br>\ninfection and associated factors in the present study area. Therefore, this study was designed<br>\nto determine the prevalence of schistosomiasis and to identify associated risk factors among<br>\nprimary school children in Seladingay Town and its surrounding of North Shewa Ethiopia.<br>\nAcross-sectional study was carried out from March to May 2022, including 214 school<br>\nchildren aged 8&ndash;17 years. Simple random sampling technique was used to select school<br>\nchildren who participated in the study. Stool samples were collected from school aged<br>\nchildren subjected to detect the presences of eggs of Schistosoma mansoni using microscope<br>\nexamination. questionnaires were administered to the participating students to collect data on<br>\ntheir interaction of schistosomiasis associated factors.The overall prevalence of Schistosoma<br>\nmansoni infection in this study was 25.23%. The prevalence rates of Schistosoma mansoni<br>\namong the schools were 11.53, 7.79, 3.43 and 2.49 in Asofe, Fela genet, Begoch gate and<br>\nSeladingay respectively. The sex and age specific distribution showed that significantly higher<br>\ninfection rates were in males (15.88%) and school children aged between 11-14 years<br>\n(P=&lt;0.05). In addition, children living in rural area were more likely exposed for<br>\nschistosome infection than children living in urban areas (p=0.000). The findings from this<br>\nstudy conclude that repeated water contact activities such as swimming, infected water used<br>\nfor domestic purpose in open freshwater were the main risk factors (AOR) = 11.873, : 5.864&ndash;<br>\n24.023, p= 0.001). The findings from this study conclude that Schistosoma mansoni was<br>\npresent in the study area and the school children should avoid to contact with open<br>\nfreshwater and also take mass drug administration treatment were recommended.</p>",
