Intestinal parasites and <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic> infections adversely affect the health of humans in the world especially in sub\u2010Saharan African countries including Ethiopia. Fishermen who spend most of their time in water bodies are supposed to be at high risk of schistosomiasis and other water\u2010born parasites. However, the magnitude of these parasitic infections and their determinant factors are not well addressed. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted at Lake Tana among 388 fishermen from March to May 2021. Questionnaire data was collected through face to face interview. Stool sample from each participant was processed by the Kato\u2010Katz and spontaneous tube sedimentation techniques. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. One hundred sixty four (42.3%) and 88 (22.7%) participants were infected by intestinal parasites and <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic>, respectively. One hundred twenty two (31.4%) and 42 (10.8%) participants were infected by soil\u2010transmitted helminths and intestinal protozoa, respectively. Attending only primary school (AOR = 2.02, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.014) or being illiterate (AOR = 2.54, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.004) and not washing hands before meal (AOR = 2.23, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.007) were significantly associated with intestinal parasitic infections. Illiterate educational status (AOR = 2.37, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.022), fishing by bargee (AOR = 2.43, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.005), fishing \u22654 days per week (AOR = 2.27, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.029), swimming habit (AOR = 3.03, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.030), and participation in irrigation (AOR = 3.09, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> \u2264 0.001) predispose fishermen to <jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic> infection. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Intestinal parasites and <jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic> infections are highly prevalent among fishermen at Lake Tana basin. Low education level and frequent water contact predispose fishermen for intestinal parasites and <jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic>. Therefore, health education to fishermen on intestinal parasites and <jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic> infection and regular deworming should be advocated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/4534689","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]],"date-time":"2021-11-30T22:46:14Z","timestamp":1638312374000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites and <i>Schistosoma mansoni<\/i> and Associated Factors among Fishermen at Lake Tana, Northwest Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2083-2691","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abebaw","family":"Fentahun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0116-1888","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tadesse","family":"Hailu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3478-4176","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Getaneh","family":"Alemu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40794-020-00123-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","volume-title":"Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Intestinal Parasite Infections among Patients Attending Dil Yibza Health","author":"Amogne A.","year":"2020"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1756-3305-5-240"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0000958"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13104-019-4338-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4314\/ejhd.v21i1.10026"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61949-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_2","volume-title":"Integrating neglected tropical diseases into global health and development: fourth WHO report on neglected tropical diseases","author":"World Health Organization","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(15)00066-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/tropicalmed2030036"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_2","first-page":"75","article-title":"Ethiopia schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthes control programme: progress and prospects","volume":"55","author":"Negussu N.","year":"2017","journal-title":"Ethiopian Medical Journal"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40794-020-00127-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(06)70521-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_14_2","first-page":"26","article-title":"Studies on distribution and abundance of freshwater snail intermediate hosts of schistosomiasis along Kwanar Areh Dam in Rimi LGA of Katsina State","volume":"11","author":"Usman A.
