A cross-sectional study was conducted (between December 2015 and January 2016) to estimaternthe prevalence of soil-transmitted -helminthic infections (STHI ) among Deneba primary schoolrnchildren. A total of 384 children were recruited following the systematic - random samplingrntechnique. Of these, 36 (9.4%) were found positive for STH with 16(4.2%) Ascaris htmbricoides,rn14(3.6%) Hymenolepis mm, 5( 1.3%) Enterobius vermicularis and 1(0.3%) Trichuris trichium.rnChildren who do not use latrine (AOR 0.14, 95% Cl 0.06-0.32, p 0.000), with no habit of premealrnhand -washing (AOR 0.20, 95% Cl : 0.08-0.49, p 0.00) and who carried dirty materials inrntheir fingernails (AOR 0.40, 95% Cl 0.21 -0.94 p 0.03) were at significantly higher risk of STHI.rnThe study demonstrated the public health impact of STHI in the study area.rnKeywords : schoolchildren, Deneba , soil-transmitted -helminths, prevalence, risk factors
Subsurface Intelligence & Critical Mineral Exploration
Modern Geology projects now focus on Machine Learning in Mineral Targeting, Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Geologic Modeling, and Critical Mineral Systems (Lithium, REEs). If your research involves Hydrogeological Connectivity, Seismic Inversion, or Geotechnical Site Characterization, ensure your analysis follows the JORC or NI 43-101 reporting standards and utilizes robust 3D Subsurface Visualization and Geochemical Fingerprinting frameworks.
