Abstract

The dataset for this article contains Urinary and Intestinal Schistosomiasis from Lango region, northern Uganda which is the only known co-endemic region for S.mansoni and S.haematobium. Reported in the data, is the retrospective data review for historical information before interventions were implemented before 2003 and after interventions were implemented in 2003 by the national control program. In 2007 and 2011, parasitological surveys were conducted in the region to validate Schistosomiasis trends following World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for surveys. In addition, malacological surveys were undertaken in 2007 to assess local transmission potential. The dataset can provide an insight into the health implications of Schistosomiasis control in co-endemic focus in Uganda, “The epidemiology of schistosomiasis in Lango region Uganda 60 years after Schwetz 1951: Can schistosomiasis be eliminated through mass drug administration without other supportive control measures?” (Adriko et al., 2018) [10].

Value of the data

  • The dataset can be helpful to the concerned authorities and policy makers in designing interventions given the only region with co-endemic focus of the two disease species.

  • The findings can be used by other researchers who wished to establish more insights into why the only region with co-endemic focuses for S.mansoni and S.haematobium in Uganda.

  • The data can be used by the districts to validate health facility based detections.

1. Data

The data contains retrospective data review from studies [2], [3] and parasitological examination of urine samples for S.haematobium and stool samples for S.mansoni in 2007 and 2011 respectively. The datasets were collected from the Lango region of northern Uganda. Please See Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5.

Snail data model results.

Snail species Dependent variable Factor (baseline; category) Odds ratio (95% CI) p- value
Bi. sudanica Presence/Absence altitude (meters); continuous (+ 1) 0.95 (0.89–1.01) 0.073
Temperature (C); Continuous (+ 0.1) 0.61 (0.41–0.91) 0.017
Bi. pfeifferi Abundance pH; continuous (+ 0.1) 564.45* (5.50–5.794) 0.010
Bu. forskalii Presence/Absence altitude (meters); continuous (+ 1) 0.96 (0.93–0.99) 0.019
Abundance altitude (meters); continuous (+ 1) 0.93 (0.87–0.99) 0.021
Bu. tropicus Presence/Absence altitude (meters); continuous (+ 1) 1.02 (1.00–1.04) 0.074
*

Note pH is on a logarithmic scale, and so an odds ratio of 10 corresponds to an increase of 1 on the pH scale, an increase of 100 corresponds to 2 pH points, etc. No factors were significant in predicting the presence/absence or abundance of snails infected with non-human cercariae.

2. Experimental designs, methods and materials

This study related to the data was carried out in the former Lango district previously described by [2]. About 20 ml of urine were collected and tested for the presence of microhaematuria using reagent strips (Hemastix©, Bayer, Germany) and recorded following grading [4]. For confirmation of the infection, a syringe filtration method [5] and examined for schistosome eggs [1] while stool samples for S.mansoni infections were processed using Kato-Katz double thick smears [6] using a 41.7 mg template and duplicate smears examined under a microscope according to WHO guidelines [1]. Snail surveys were conducted in 2007 in the vicinity of each school surveyed for Bulinus and Biomphalaria snail species following guidelines [7] and identified using field keys [8] and [9]. The following datasets are presented.

2.1. 2007 data

The Table 1 below shows the data on the generalized linear model (GLM) looking at factors influencing binomial prevalence of S. haematobium infection (as diagnosed by Hemastix), with inclusion of age, sex and knowledge of bilharzia as explanatory variables.

2.2. 2011 data

The 2011 data presented in Table 2 shows S. mansoni infection, the relationships with sex and age amongst those surveyed.

2.3. Direct comparison of S.haematobium prevalence in sites surveyed both in 2007 and 2011, by Hemastix

In several cases, multiple surveys had been conducted in the same region in 2007 whereas only a single survey was carried out in 2011. In some cases, the survey in 2007 took place in the community whereas the follow-up in 2011 took place in the local primary school; these cases are marked with “*”. The inverse cases, where the initial survey took place in a primary school and the follow-up in the community, are marked with “**”. Urine syringe filtration was only carried out in 2011 (Table 3).

2.4. Snail data model

All models were multivariate, including altitude, temperature, pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen as covariates. Presence/absence models were estimated using a generalized linear model (glm) whereas abundance mo dels were estimated using a linear model (lm) with only factors that had a p-value less than 0.1 included(at the 95% confidence level) (Table 5).

Acknowledgement

This research would not have been possible without funding from the EU grant CONTRAST (FP6 STREP contract no: 032203, http://www.eu-contrast.eu). The 2011 survey was supported with funding from DFID through SCI (the ICOSA project) for which we are most grateful. Approval for the surveys was gratefully received from NHS-LREC of the imperial College, London and Uganda National Council of Science & Technology.
