We compared the performance of Kato-Katz (KK) and spontaneous sedimentation (SSM) in three localities of Sergipe and Alagoas with different endemicity levels. Stool samples were examined by both methods, and individuals were considered positive if at least one test was positive. KK showed higher sensitivity across all sites (88.5%\u2013100%), while SSM performed better in moderately endemic areas (up to 61.5%). These complementary performance profiles suggest that using both methods in combination could yield a measurable increase in case detection \u2013 potentially improving prevalence estimates, guiding more accurate treatment interventions, and strengthening surveillance strategies in areas with heterogeneous transmission intensities.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x26101291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]],"date-time":"2026-03-26T08:59:30Z","timestamp":1774515570000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comparative performance of Kato-Katz and spontaneous sedimentation methods for schistosomiasis mansoni diagnosis in endemic areas of Northeastern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"T.L.H.","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/028ka0n85","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Sergipe"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.T.C.","family":"Campos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/028ka0n85","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Sergipe"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9958-9331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.E.S.","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/047908t24","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Pernambuco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Graeff-Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05sxf4h28","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"F.A.","family":"Brayner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/047908t24","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Pernambuco"},{"name":"Aggeu Magalh\u00e3es Institute"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00n0s9w57","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Sergipe State Department of Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2039-9656","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.R.","family":"Cambraia-Miranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04x3wvr31","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Uberl\u00e2ndia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.G.A.","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/028ka0n85","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Sergipe"},{"name":"State University of Alagoas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1918-7122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.R.S.","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/028ka0n85","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Sergipe"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5576-3214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.S.","family":"Dolabella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/028ka0n85","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Sergipe"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/028ka0n85","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Federal University of Sergipe"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022149X26101291_r9","first-page":"397","article-title":"A simple device for quantitative stool thick-smear technique in Schistosomiasis mansoni","volume":"14","author":"Katz","year":"1972","journal-title":"Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo"},{"key":"S0022149X26101291_r8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1179\/136485907X229086"},{"key":"S0022149X26101291_r18","first-page":"570","article-title":"Spatial analysis of the prevalence of schistosomiasis in an endemic coastal area in north-eastern Brazil","volume":"12","author":"Santos","year":"2017","journal-title":"Geospatial Health"},{"key":"S0022149X26101291_r12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0006274"},{"key":"S0022149X26101291_r14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0074-02761919000100006"},{"key":"S0022149X26101291_r3","unstructured":"Brasil, 2024.
