Associated risk factors for STHs and Plasmodium mono- and co-infection among 5,104 school children.

Parasite mono- and co-infection prevalences and risk factors associated stem from a national survey conducted in Côte d'Ivoire between November 2011 and February 2012. Children from 92 different survey locations were parasitologically tested and socioeconomic status assessed together with potential risk-related behavior and preventive measures taken. The prevalences are given in percentages. Associations were assessed using a multinomial regression model adjusted for Schistosoma spp., and accounting for cluster effects at school unit. Statistically significant (pSTH = soil-transmitted helminths.RRR = relative risk ratio.CI = confidence interval.
