villageâ€. To deferent techniques (centrifugation and Filtration) were used to determine the prevalence and incidence of
urinary schistosomiasis infection among the population, after recognition of the parasite, praziquantel treatment was apply for
all infected cases. Viability test for was preformed one month after treatment. Out of 1029 urine sample examined, 594 was
found positive for Schistosoma haematobium infection â€œ57.7% overall prevalence rateâ€. The prevalence in male was higher
than female â€œ61.8 and 53.7% respectivelyâ€. The highest prevalence rate of infection (62.6%) was reported among the age
group 11-20 years. Six months post treatment with praziquantel, overall incidence rate of 20.8% â€œ126 Out of 606 urine
samples examinedâ€. Out of 245 eggs discharged, 60 were found viable constituting a 24.5% viability rate. The study has
revealed an extensive endemicity of S. haematobium over the whole area. The exceptionally high rate of viability (24.5%)
reported in the study might probably in our opinion be due to low efficiency of praziquantel or the drug was not
administrated in its proper dose. Incidence rate which was reported in this study reflex the continuous existence of the
parasite in the area of study.</Abstract><Email>Microparasitologyabosalif@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>4</volume><issue>12</issue><year>2014</year><keyword>Prevalence,Incidence,Viability,Post treatment,Praziquantel</keyword><AUTHORS>Husameldin A.
