It is prevalent among children in the tropics and subtropics, particularly in rural poor communities where sanitation is inadequate or lacking. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence and significant risk factors of\n                    <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection among children in rural Yemen. Faecal samples were collected from 498 children and screened for intestinal parasites by using wet mount, formalin-ether concentration and Kato\u2013Katz techniques. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect demographic, socioeconomic, housing condition, and personal hygiene information. Overall, 77.5 % (386\/498) of the children were found to be infected by at least one intestinal parasite species. The overall prevalence of\n                    <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic>\n                    was 17.5 % (87\/498). Multivariate analysis confirmed that an age of &lt; 6 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 4.28; 95 % (confidence interval [CI] = 2.04, 8.98), presence of other family members infected with\n                    <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic>\n                    (AOR = 2.48; 95 % CI = 1.45, 4.24), living in the highlands (AOR = 2.87; 95 % CI = 1.56, 5.26), living in a house without improved toilet facilities (AOR = 2.19; 95 % CI = 1.23, 3.88), not washing vegetables before consumption (AOR = 2.11; 95 % CI = 1.06, 4.19), and not washing hands after defecation (AOR = 1.88; 95 % CI = 1.08, 3.27) were the key factors significantly associated with\n                    <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection among the studied children. In conclusion,\n                    <jats:italic>H. nana<\/jats:italic>\n                    is prevalent among children in rural Yemen, particularly among preschool-aged children. Thus, an integrated and effective programme to control intestinal parasitic infections should include preschool-aged children. Such a programme should focus on providing health education on hygienic practices, providing adequate sanitation and improved sources of drinking water, and screening and treating other infected family members.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2478\/helm-2020-0038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,30]],"date-time":"2020-11-30T15:39:52Z","timestamp":1606750792000},"page":"293-305","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The neglected cestode infection: Epidemiology of\n                    <i>Hymenolepis nana<\/i>\n                    infection among children in rural Yemen"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"H.
