The stools and urine of 312 pupils aged 8 to 18 years old were analyzed. Each stool¡¯s sample was subjected to direct microscopic examination in physiological water, of an enrichment according to the simplified method of Ritchie and a qualitative technique of concentration of Kato. Urine examination was performed on the centrifugation pellet obtained after centrifugation at 2000 revolutions per minute (rpm) for ten minutes. This research revealed the persistence of schistosomes and soil transmitted helminthiasis in this region. We can note that 35% of the stools were positive for Schistosoma mansoni eggs, or soil transmitted helminthiasis and protozoa. 25% of urine was positive for Schistosoma haematobium eggs. The prevalence was higher in Taabo (31.48%) conceming the schistosomes. As for soil ¨Ctransmitted helminthiasis, it was higher than in Agboville with a rate of 36.49% and Schistosoma hematobium was globally predominant in the region. Boys were significantly more infected than girls and older children were more infected than younger children. This distribution seemed to be linked to the behaviours and the activities of the subject groups. http://pubs.sciepub.com/jaem/11/1/2/jaem-11-1-2.pdf prevalence spatial schistosomiasis helminthiasis Agneby-Tiassa
