“…In Brazil, schistosomiasis is more intensely distributed on a continuous and contiguous strip of land, over almost the entire coastline, following the trajectory of important hydrographic basins (7) . In these endemic schistosomiasis areas, in addition to monitoring, the control of these conditions involves reducing the occurrence of severe forms and deaths, reducing the prevalence of the infection (to levels lower than 5%), and indicating measures to reduce the expansion of the endemic areas (10) (11) .…”
