| Abstract | This dataset was produced on the National mapping of soil-transmitted helminth and schistosome infections in Ethiopia 2014. It incorporates the zone woreda, village, the school name, sex, age, grade, years lived in the area, grade of education attainment, and type of soil-transmitted helminthiases result. The finding of this survey revealed that; The prevalence of any STH infection across the study population was 21.7%, with A. lumbricoides (12.8%) being the most prevalent STH, followed by hookworms (7.6%) and T. trichiura (5.9%). The prevalence for any SCH was 4.0% in areas where both SCH species were evaluated. Schistosoma mansoni was the most prevalent SCH (3.5 vs 0.3%). STHs were more commonplace in southwest Ethiopia, whereas SCH was primarily found in the west and northeast of the country. The prevalence of moderate-to-heavy intensity infections was 2.0% for STHs and 1.6% for SCH. For STH, 251 woredas were classified as moderately or highly endemic and therefore qualify for an annual and biannual MDA program, respectively. For SCH, 67 woredas were classified as endemic and 8 as highly endemic, and hence they require every two years and an annual MDA program, respectively. |

| Description | This dataset was produced on the National mapping of soil-transmitted helminth and schistosome infections in Ethiopia in 2014. This dataset incorporates the zone, woreda, village, the school name, sex, age, grade, years lived in the area, grade of education attainment, and type of soil-transmitted helminthiases result. Generally, the objective of this study was to provide up-to-date data on the distribution of both STH and SCH in Ethiopia to inform the design of the national control program and be able to efficiently achieve the 75% MDA coverage target set by the WHO. |
