Out of this number, 3815 (11.3%) were properly filled and returned. About 42.0% of the inhabitants admitted knowledge of the disease, while 14 (0.4%) knew about the aetiologic agent. About 181 (5.0%) who responded, admitted procuring treatment, while 100 (5.0%) declined to seek treatment of any sort. The relationships between water-bodies and human activities, and infection were well discussed. Amongst those who admitted knowledge of the disease but no knowledge of its etiologic agent, declined seeking treatment of any kind, but believe the disease is a natural phenomenon in ones developmental stage and therefore of no morbidity and mortality. Laboratory analysis of urine, faeces, semen and HVS was employed to assess questionnaire responses, and in some cases, physical examination was utilized to augment laboratory analysis in confirming urinal diagnosis. Haematuria was only directly related to egg count in the early part of life. Females were significantly haematuric and excreted more ova than males (p &lt; 0.05). Headache (43.0%) and fever (31.0%) were major clinical signs while sexual pains (22.0%) were the least.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652004000400007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,27]],"date-time":"2005-04-27T09:34:01Z","timestamp":1114594441000},"page":"209-216","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The perception, beliefs and practices toward genitourinary schistosomiasis by inhabitants of selected endemic areas (Edo\/Delta States) in south-eastern Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Nnamdi Callistus D.","family":"Ukwandu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Edo State University,  Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"O.
