Introduction: Preliminary studies indicate a probable schistosomiasis expansion in Alagoas. This work analyzes the occurrence of Schistosoma mansoni in students from two municipalities, located in the Mundau and Paraiba rivers basins. Methods: The study group consisted of 690 students in the urban area, aged between seven and 15 years. A standardized socio-(e)conomic questionnaire was filled out and parasitological tests were used to diagnosis schistosomiasis (Lutz and Kato methods).
