1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Schistosomiasis is a chronic human disease caused by parasitic flatworms called schistosomes or blood flukes. The schistosomes live i1n the blood vessels associated with the intestine and urinary bladd1er where they reproduce sexually.
Schistosomiasis is one of the most wide spread parasitic disease that put about 400-600 million people worldwide at risk and has already infected about 200 million people. The disease is endemic in 74 countries of the world, including Nigeria, which is among the 44 African countries where the disease is highly prevalent (Ukpai & Ezeike, 20021). Although it has mortality rate, schistosomiasis often is a chro1nic illness that can damage internal organs and in children impair growth and cognitive development. The urinary form of schistosomiasis is associated with increased risks for bladder cancer in adults. Schistosomiasis is the second most socioeconomically devastating parasitic disease after material (carter center, 2008).
The disease is most commonly found in Asia, Africa, and South America, especially in areas where the water contains numerous fresh water snails, which many carry the parasite. The disease affects many people in developing particularly children who many acquire the disease by swimming or playing in infected water.
