Spatial distribution of soil-transmitted helminthiases and co-infection with schistosomiasis among school children in Nigeria

Conclusions Though hookworm infection remains an important public health problem in the area, its infection levels varied between children's locations. The spatial distribution maps in this study are important and useful for planning, evaluating and implementing adequate control programmes for STHs among school-aged children.
