However, the evidence of this recommendation is scant. In the study presented here, 257 children, aged 2\u201315 years from south C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, provided urine samples for microscopy on consecutive days; one sample without prior exercise and one sample after exercise. Comparing the same individuals without and with prior exercise, sample positivity for <jats:italic>S. haematobium<\/jats:italic> (25.7% versus 23.0%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.31) and mean egg counts (10.2 eggs\/10 mL versus 8.5 eggs\/10 mL, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.45) did not differ.
