No full textIntroduction: The Global signiļ¬cance of schistosomiasis started waning over the years owing to its eradication in most developed societies, until the reawaking of global attention and it now occupies a prominent place amongst the neglected tropical diseases (NTD). The aim of our study was to accurately estimate the prevalence of schistosomiasis in Nigeria, and its six geo-political zones.
Subjects and methods: We utilized electronic databases to search and select studies on prevalence across the geographical zones between 1994 and 2015. STATA 10 Random effects meta-analysis of observational studies was used to generate our estimates.
Result: Sixty-seven studies met the inclusion criteria. The uniļ¬ed pooled population studied was 47,440 (nĀ =Ā 14,888 persons). The pooled prevalence]) of Schistosoma haematobium infestation was, for all regionsĀ =Ā 34.7% (31.0ā38.5) (95% conļ¬dence interval [CI)).
Conclusion: Schistosomal infestations remain hyperendemic in Nigeria. Nigeria must, therefore, expedite the execution of resolution WHA66.12 adopted by the World Health Assembly on NTD
