A total of 901 randomly selected individuals, aged 18\u201390\u00a0years, provided blood, stool and urine samples for the diagnosis of malaria and helminth infections. Stool samples were subjected to the Kato-Katz technique for detection of<jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic>and soil-transmitted helminth eggs, while urine samples were examined for eggs of<jats:italic>Schistosoma haematobium<\/jats:italic>and circulating cathodic antigen of<jats:italic>S.\u00a0mansoni<\/jats:italic>.
