The prevalence of at least one intestinal parasite was 26.8% (n\u2009=\u2009103), of which 13.6% (n\u2009=\u200914) were mixed infections. Hymenolepis nana was the most prevalent intestinal parasite (5.2%) followed by Entamoeba histolytica\/dispar (4.9%) and hookworm (4.7%). Male children (adjusted odds ratio\u2009=\u20090.624; 95% confidence interval:\u20090.392\u20130.993) and those whose mother completed elementary school (adjusted odds ratio\u2009=\u20092.171; 95% confidence interval:\u20091.012\u20134.658) were significantly associated with intestinal parasite infections (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intestinal parasitic infections remained an important health problem among school children in the study area.
