Schistosomiasis is one of the major neglected tropical parasitic diseases caused by a group of blood-feeding worms in the genus Schistosoma. Nigeria ranks highest among all countries worldwide, however, there is a paucity of information on the prevalence of the disease in some parts of the country. Therefore, the research aims to augment available data on the prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium infection among schoolaged children in ten communities in Edo state, Nigeria.
