Brief Summary: Cross-sectional study of prevalence and intensity of schistosome infection in pregnant women follow-up into postpartum and the association of schistosome infection with haemoglobin concentration compared to a group of non-pregnant women
Detailed Description: The objective of this study is to investigate the epidemiology of schistosomiasis and anaemia among pregnant and non-pregnant women in Burkina Faso and explore the implications for the national schistosomiasis control programme and future studies

Specific objectives are

to determine the prevalence and intensity of schistosome infection in pregnant women attending for antenatal care and in non-pregnant women of reproductive age in an area which is hyperendemic for Shaematobium infection and in which there is little or no Smansoni infection
to determine the prevalence and intensity of schistosome infection in pregnant women attending for antenatal care and in non-pregnant women of reproductive age in an area in which Smansoni infection is common
to determine Haemoglobin concentration in pregnant women attending for antenatal care and in non-pregnant women of reproductive age in the regions described above
to investigate the association between infection and haemoglobin concentration in pregnant and non-pregnant women
to determine the prevalence of other parasitic infections in pregnant women and non-pregnant women including hookworms ascaris trichuris and malaria
to demonstrate the research teams ability to follow-up pregnant women recruited at antenatal care clinics onto the postpartum period
