Abstract
⺠We monitored impact of annual Praziquantel for Schistosoma haematobium in Delta State, Nigeria. ⺠Cross-sectional surveys of school children conducted at baseline and after 2 years. ⺠Compared three assessments of hematuria to determine the need for mass treatment. ⺠Following treatment, dipstick prevalence of hematuria decreased by 88.5% (p < 0.001). ⺠History and NVD failed to identify all communities in need of treatment.
