Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of reagent urinalysis dipstick tests and urine filtration for diagnosing light infections of Schistosoma haematobium in Wolaita Zone, focusing on sustainable control of schistosomiasis.
- A total of 12,102 participants were surveyed between 2018 and 2020, revealing a low prevalence of infection; only 2.35% tested positive for microhaematuria and 0.20% for S. haematobium eggs.
- The dipstick tests demonstrated high sensitivity (100%) and specificity (97.4%), indicating their potential as helpful adjuncts for detecting urogenital schistosomiasis in population-based efforts.
