Future efforts to control urinary schistosomiasis should take into account integrated approaches combining water, sanitation and hygien…

Therefore, an appropriate health education intervention is needed in order to inculcate better knowledge, attitudes, and practices amongst schoolchildren regarding its transmission, control, and prevention as part of a succes…
