Abstract EN
This study aimed to determine the prevalence rate of malaria/ helminthic infection in irrigated area in central Sudan (Genaid).
A cross- sectional study was carried out during the period from December 2008 to June 2009.
A total number of 250 students (age between 6-16 years old, mean age was 11 ± 3 years) were included in this study.
Blood, urine and stool samples were taken from all subjects.
Clinical and parasitological data were obtained and recorded.
Seventy one out of 250 (28%) blood samples were found to be positive for P.
falciparum when stained by Giemsa stain.
Moreover, 82 out of 250 (32%) blood samples were found to be positive when examined by immunochromatogrophic test (ICT).
On the other hand, 35 out of 250 (14%) stool samples were positive for S.
mansoni when examined by wet preparation while 41 out of 250 (16%) stool samples were positive for S.
mansoni when using Kato technique.
Eighty out of 250 (31%) urine samples were positive for S.haematobium.
The study showed that 60 out of 250 (24%)stool samples were positive for other protozoal and helminthic infections.
The prevalence rates of malaria/ schistosomiasis co-infection were detected in 31 out of 250 students (12%).
This study indicated that the study area is highly endemic for malaria and schistosomiasis as reflected by the high prevalence rate of malaria/ schistosomiasis co-infection.
