EFGAA is a PhD candidate at the University of Paris. His research is funded by DeWorm3 as a staff member of the Benin coordinating team, and by the French Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) through the International Mixed Laboratory LMI CONS_HELM (helminth infections: treatments and consequences on health and development in the South). https://www.ird.fr/benin/partenariatTest.

All rights reserved. ; Background Despite several years of school-based MDA implementation, STH infections remain an important public health problem in Benin, with a country-wide prevalence of 20% in 2015. The DeWorm3 study is designed to assess the feasibility of using community-based MDA with albendazole to interrupt the transmission of STH, through a series of cluster-random-ized trials in Benin, India and Malawi. We used the pre-treatment baseline survey data to describe and analyze the factors associated with STH infection in Comé, the study site of the DeWorm3 project in Benin. These data will improve understanding of the challenges that need to be addressed in order to eliminate STH as a public health problem in Benin. Methods Between March and April 2018, the prevalence of STH (hookworm spp., Ascaris and Tri-churis trichiura) was assessed by Kato-Katz in stool samples collected from 6,153 residents in the community of Comé, Benin using a stratified random sampling procedure. A standard-ized survey questionnaire was used to collect information from individual households con-cerning factors potentially associated with the presence and intensity of STH infections in pre-school (PSAC, aged 1–4), school-aged children (SAC, aged 5–14) and adults (aged 15 and above).
