摘　　要：School-aged children(SAC)have a considerable burden of intestinal schistosomiasis in Madagascar yet its burden in pre-school aged children(PSAC)is currently overlooked.To assess the at-risk status of PSAC,we undertook a pilot epidemiological survey in June 2019 examining children(n=89),aged 2-4-years of balanced gender,in six remote villages in Marolambo District,Madagascar.Diagnosis included use of urine-circulating cathodic antigen(CCA)dipsticks and coproscopy of stool with duplicate Kato-Katz(K-K)thick smears.
