It is therefore necessary to understand all the factors involved in the development of the disease, including biotic and abiotic factors. The aim of this study was to examine the factors that could support the maintenance of the intermediate host and its vectorial capacity in western C\u00f4te d'Ivoire.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Data on river physicochemical, microbiological, and climatic parameters, the presence or absence of snails with <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic>, and human infections were collected between January 2020 and February 2021. Spearman rank correlation tests, Mann\u2013Whitney, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and an appropriate model selection procedure were used to analyze the data.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The overall prevalence of infected snails was 56.05%, with infection reaching 100% in some collection sites and localities. Of 26 sites examined, 25 contained thermophilic coliforms and 22 contained <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>Biomphalaria pfeifferi<\/jats:italic> was observed in environments with lower land surface temperature (LST) and higher relative air humidity (RAH), and <jats:italic>B. pfeifferi<\/jats:italic> infection predominated in more acidic environments. Thermal coliforms and <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> preferred higher pH levels. Lower maximum LST (LST_Max) and higher RAH and minimum LST (LST_Min) were favorable to <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic>, and lower LST_Max favored coliforms. The presence of <jats:italic>B. pfeifferi<\/jats:italic> was positively influenced by water temperature (<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>\u00a0\u00b0C), LST_Min, RAH, and precipitation (Pp) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and negatively influenced  by pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), LST_Max, and mean land surface temperature (LST). The parameters pH, TDS, EC, LST_Min, LST, and Pp had a positive impact on snail infection, while LST_Max had a negative impact on infection. Only pH had a positive effect on coliform and <jats:italic>E. coli<\/jats:italic> abundance. Of the 701 people examined for human schistosomiasis, 73.13% were positive for the point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen (POC-CCA) test and 12.01% for the Kato\u2013Katz (KK) test.
