来自肯尼亚西部46所学校的数据被用来调查以学校为基础的问卷的表现，这些问卷是关于报告的粪便中的血液和接触水的模式，作为人类感染曼氏血吸虫流行率的指标。感染的流行与自我报告的便血流行、近期游泳史和近期钓鱼史有关。结果表明，使用30%的受试者报告粪便中有血液的阈值可以识别42.9%的高流行率学校(即流行率大于或等于50%)和87.5%的低流行率学校(即流行率
Data from 46 schools in western Kenya were used to investigate the performance of school-based questionnaires, on reported blood in stool and water-contact patterns, as indicators of the prevalence of human infection with Schistosoma mansoni. Prevalence of infection was associated with the prevalence of self-reported blood in stool, recent history of swimming and recent history of fishing. It was shown that use of a threshold of 30% of subjects reporting blood in stool would identify 42.9% of the 'high-prevalence' schools (i.e. prevalence greater than or equal to 50%) and 87.5% of the 'low-prevalence' schools (i.e. prevalence
