 note = {In Kenya, communities residing along the shores and islands of Lake Victoria bear a substantial burden of
schistosomiasis. Although there is a school-based deworming program in place, the transmission of Schistosoma
mansoni varies even at a fine scale. Given the focal nature of schistosomes’ transmission, we aim to identify areas
with high intensity of S. mansoni infection in Mbita, Homabay County, western Kenya, for prioritized integrated
control measures. Our findings confirm a high intensity of S. mansoni infection cluster around Mbita causeway.
While the current efforts to curtail morbidity due to schistosomiasis through preventive chemotherapy in schools
are crucial, fine-scale mapping of risk areas is necessary for specific integrated control measures., Tropical Medicine and Health, 47(1), art.no.26; 2019},
