Abstract
⺠Sixty percent of children in Tanzania have at least an infection of either Plasmodium falciparum or helminth. ⺠Co-infections of P. falciparum + W. bancrofti and P. falciparum + S. haematobium are most prevalent. ⺠Children from rice irrigated ecosystems are at highest risk of acquiring double, triple or quadruple infections. ⺠Malaria-helminth co-infections are prevalent among children and the pattern varies between agro-ecosystems.
