National mapping of soil-transmitted helminth and schistosome infections in Ethiopia

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The results confirm that Ethiopia is endemic for both STHs and SCH, posing a significant public health problem. Following the WHO recommendations on mass drug administration, 18 and 14 million school-aged children are in need of MDA for STHs and SCH, respectively, based on the number of SACs that live on the eligible geographical areas.
