Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Kenyan residents, newborn to adult, either male or female.

2. Residence in areas of Kwale District endemic for Schistosoma haematobium

Exclusion Criteria:

Pregnancy (this is a partial exclusion). Pregnant women will participate in the
parasitological screening phase of the study. However, because of pregnancy-related
effects on the urinary system, their ultrasound examinations will be excluded from the
analysis of hydronephrosis. Further, because of potential toxicity of praziquantel
(Category B) and its alternative, metrifonate (an anticholinesterase), post-protocol
anti-parasitic therapy will be delayed until the mother delivers and has stopped
breastfeeding her infant.
