This study aimed to compare the prevalence and morbidity data on <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic> infection in two rural areas: the Jequitinhonha valley (area 1) and the Rio Doce valley (area 2) in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, covering the period from 2007 to 2010. <jats:italic>Material and Methods<\/jats:italic>. The parasitological stool tests were based on the quantitative method of Kato modified by Katz et al. Three clinical forms were considered: type I\u2014schistosomiasis infection, type II\u2014hepatointestinal form, and type III\u2014hepatosplenic form. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The prevalence of infection among inhabitants of area 1 was 22.9%, with 2.1% presenting the hepatosplenic form and two cases of schistosomal myeloradiculopathy. The infection prevalence rate in area 2 was 20.2%, with 3.3% presenting the hepatosplenic form. <jats:italic>Conclusion and Recommendation<\/jats:italic>. There was no difference in the prevalence and in the morbidity of <jats:italic>Schistosoma mansoni<\/jats:italic> infection between the two areas, but it was predominant in young men with a low intensity of infection. The cases of schistosomal myeloradiculopathy in area 1 can be highlighted: these emphasize that schistosomiasis should not be neglected in Brazil. The lack of infection control in both areas may be related to the poor sanitation system, the absence of previous treatment, and the reinfection process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5402\/2013\/715195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,19]],"date-time":"2013-03-19T21:01:59Z","timestamp":1363726919000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prevalence
