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