- Abstract
Soil transmitted helminthiasis and schistosomiasis are neglected tropical diseases, affecting the health status of endemic Malian populations. Mali has a national elimination program using the mass drug administration (MDA) strategy combining Albendazole, Ivermectinand Praziquantel. Malaria still remains a public health problem in Mali. The Community health Center (CSCOM) in Kalifabougou, in the Kati health district, has benefited from such MDA program since 2010. Aim: To evaluate the prevalence rate of malaria infection, intestinal and urines parasites in population of Kalifobougou village, Mali. Methodology: we conducted a cross sectional study nested in a cohort study in May 2011 on volunteers aged form 3 months to 25 years old. Blood smear (blood), Kato-Katz (Stools) and urines filtration technics were used to evaluate parasite prevalence. Informed consent as well as assentiment were obtain from the volunteers before their inclusion. All volunteers received treatement against theses parasites diseases according to the national control programs. Results: A total of 688 volunteers were include. The prevalence rates of parasitic infections were 22.1% [95% CI= 22.06 - 22.12] for Plasmodium falciparum, 9% [95% CI: 8.9-9.034] for Schistosoma haematobium; 3.5%[95% CI = 3, 48- 3,513] for Hymenolepis nana and 0.1%[95% CI = 0,093-:0,107] for Schistosoma mansoni. The prevalence rate of Plasmodium falciparum - Schistosoma haematobium co-infection was 2.18% [95% CI= 2.17 - 2.19] in Kalifabougou population in 2011. Discussion and conclusion: Praziquantel and Albendazole-based mass drug administration and Artemisinin based combined therapy (ACTs) could explain these low prevalence of helminths and malaria in Kalifabougou, Mali.
