Abstract：
:Selective population chemotherapy using a single dose of praziquantel (40 mg per kg body weight), which was offered to 29,365 schoolchildren in Abu El Matameer and 40,241 in Abo Homos districts, Beheira governorate in the Nile delta, reduced the prevalence of schistosomiasis from 75.4% to 40.9% (reduction of 45.8%) and from 80.5% to 30.8% (reduction of 61.7%), respectively. Of those with only S. mansoni infection, 10.6% before treatment and 1.7% one year later had more than 800 eggs per gram of faeces. The prevalence of S. haematobium in Abu El Matameer was reduced from 35.4% to 7.4% after a single treatment. Infections with both S. mansoni and S. haematobium were reduced by more than 90% after one year. These reductions in prevalence and intensity of schistosomiasis in the face of continuing transmission and water contact augur well for the future role of chemotherapy in control programmes.
