Based on observations of high prevalence of <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic> infection in the northern-most islands of this archipelago, a follow-up survey was conducted to ascertain whether transmission was endemic to this island group, combining parasitological and malacological surveys. Prevalence of intestinal schistosomiasis was again observed to be high, as was intensity of infections which, combined with low reported incidence of treatment, suggests that chemotherapy-based control initiatives are not being maximally effective in this region as high levels of population movement between islands and districts are confounding. The local disease transmission was confirmed by the observations of high abundance of <jats:italic>Biomphalaria<\/jats:italic>, as well as field-caught snails shedding <jats:italic>S. mansoni<\/jats:italic> cercariae. DNA sequencing of 12 cercariae revealed common mitochondrial <jats:italic>cox<\/jats:italic> 1 haplotypes, as well as, novel ones, consistent with the high genetic diversity of this parasite in Lake Victoria. Intestinal schistosomiasis is firmly endemic in parts of the Sesse Islands and more broadly, this island group provides an insight into the future challenges to be faced by the Ugandan National Control Programme in regularly reaching these rather remote, inaccessible and largely itinerant communities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/1756-3305-4-29","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,1]],"date-time":"2011-03-01T23:56:32Z","timestamp":1299023792000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Confirmed local endemicity and putative high transmission of Schistosoma mansoni in the Sesse Islands, Lake Victoria, Uganda"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Claire J","family":"Standley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Moses","family":"Adriko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fred","family":"Besigye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Narcis B","family":"Kabatereine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Russell J","family":"Stothard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,3,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"271_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"372","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-3156.2003.01176.x","volume":"9","author":"NB Kabatereine","year":"2004","unstructured":"Kabatereine NB, Brooker S, Tukahebwa EM, Kazibwe F, Onapa AW: Epidemiology and geography of Schistosoma mansoni in Uganda: implications for planning control.
