In this study, 182 participants were found infected and 964 participants were not infected (Prevalence rate of 15.9%). The age-specific prevalence rates of urinary schistosomiasis were observed to be highest at the age group (10 - 14 years, 48.4%) then a rapid decline till the age (25 - 29 years, 3.3) and a relatively stable low prevalence in adult age. However, a tendency to a slight increase in prevalence was observed after the age of 30 years. Age was significantly correlated with egg count (-0.1182; p < 0.001). In this study, the geometric mean egg count was 28.8 per 10 ml. urine. Intensity of infection showed a consistent decline by increase in age. Highest geometric mean egg count (38.5 /10 ml urine) was observed with youngest age group (5 - 9 years), while the lowest geometric mean egg count (11.1 / 10 ml urine) was observed in the oldest age group (35 years and over). Males were at a higher risk of being infected than females (23.9% and 8.1% respectively; p=0.00000). Geometric mean egg count was also significantly higher in males than females
(31.2, 23. O respectively; p= 0.02518).
